Ep. 257: ADAR SPECIAL | Megillat Esther by Yitzhak Herzog, current President of Israel

Rosh Chodesh Tov! Special Purim Edition by President Yizhak Herzog, who recorded this in 2019, while he was chair of the Jewish Agency. Over the winter, 2018-2019, Rav Joe spent an afternoon with Yitzhak Herzog, then chair of the Jewish Agency and former head of the Labour Party (and son of President Chaim Herzog and grandson of Israel's first chief rabbi, Rav Yitzhak Herzog). In his office he keeps the original copy of the prayer for the state of Israel which his grandfather composed. He loved our 929 project and asked to record a piece for Purim - so here it is!  Text for the Megillah can be found here: https://www.sefaria.org.il/Esther?tab=contents
