Esther now published in its ninth edition and
revised
BROOKLYN, NY — Wednesday, March 01,
2006
FREE Publishing House, has released
a new revised edition of the Megillat Esther,
featuring the original Hebrew text with the accompanying
Russian translation, it has been enhanced in several ways:
the whole volume, both Hebrew and Russian, has been reset
in a clear, crisp typeface. The Russian translation, while
still based on the original edition, has been amended to
read more smoothly.
Following the Megillah, there is an additional 30 plus pages
that contain the chapter on Purim of FREE’s yet-to-be-published
book titled "Jewish Holiday and Festivals". This
chapter includes the story of Purim; the holiday's background,
its history and laws as well as its practical lessons and
relevance now, 2300 years later, based on the teachings of
the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson.
Now in its ninth edition, the Megilla went to print with
a press run of ten thousand copies; the distribution of the
Megilla is amongst a whole array of projects of FREE’s Holiday
Awareness Campaign.
Many thanks go to Rabbi Moshe C. Levin and Rabbi
Shlomo Galperin, noted writers and lecturers,
for their pioneering work on the original translation and
to Rabbi Tzvi H. Okunov, Vice President
of F.R.E.E., for bringing the first edition to print.
Particular thanks go to Rabbi Berl Haskelevich and Mr.
Mikhail Rubin for their extensive editorial work
on revising this new edition; Mendy Goldstein and Rabbi
Ephraim Stock for their design and layout; Rabbi
Mayer Okunov, Chairman of F.R.E.E., for his invaluable
editorial assistance and guidance, Rabbi Yosef
Y. Okunov, Director of the FREE Publishing House,
for directing the project and bringing it to fruition.
