Overview

The Messianic Peshitta Megilah for Purim is a unique book offered for celebrating Purim. It is an abridgement of the book of Esther. Esther is the only book in scripture that does not mention our G-d directly, neither by name nor by title. This abridged Megilah offers the Messianic community the opportunity to both celebrate Purim, and to learn more about Purim, and hence about the book of Esther. Each chapter starts with a significant, direct quote from the Hebrew and the English, and the rest of the corresponding, biblical chapter is summarized, for brevity and clarity. After each summarized chapter, there are Thoughts to Consider, with probing analysis and questions concerning that chapter, focused on the Messianic overtones of the book. These can be discussed during the Shpiel. There are also suggestions for celebrating the Purim Shpiel. The book starts with the blessings for reading the Megilah, and ends with a glossary to define transliterated terms with which the reader may not be familiar. These transliterations are offered to render the more Jewish tone of the work, and to aid in understanding Esther on a deeper level. The author hopes that all who read/use the Megilah will gain better insight into the plan of Salvation, and how detailed and 'present' G-d is in our lives, even when we do not see or hear Him. Daniel Perek is a lifelong writer and poet who comes from a legacy of writing. He has written a novel called Grave Danger, a Siddur for Messianic Peshitta Jewish liturgical worship, a Haggadah for the Messianic Peshitta Jewish Pesakh Seder, a Bar Mitzvah curriculum for the Messianic Peshitta Jewish Synagogue, a Madrikh of life-cycle events for the Messianic Peshitta Jewish overseer, a Megilah for the Messianic Peshitta Purim celebration, and most recently completed, a new translation into English of the sacred Jewish scriptures, the Tanakh and Brit Khadashah [OT and NT] texts from the Masoretic and Peshitta texts, respectively, called HaDavar [The Word]. Apart from his writing, music, and other pursuits, Daniel is also the founding overseer of a Messianic Congregation in The Woodlands, Texas, which influences much of his writing. He blogs periodically at danielperek.com, hoping to share the truth of the Jewish Messiah with anyone who would hear. After finishing and publishing all the liturgy above, he intends to complete his second work of fiction, which is proving very interesting to those in the know...
