Lubavitcher Rebbe~Esther, Model for Jewish Women

Who has not heard of the Lubavitcher Rebbe? There is no way to truly describe him, or the impact he had and still has on the Jewish people, and the world at large. Quoted from his site:

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory, the seventh leader in the Chabad-Lubavitch dynasty, is considered to have been the most phenomenal Jewish personality of modern times.

The Rebbe spoke with everyone, religious, not so religious and even the non-religious. Common people, business men, politicians and presidents queued to see him, to ask for advice, to receive his blessing. He had a unique ability to "see into the soul" of people. I have listened to friends telling amazing stories of their encounters, and yes, even miracles that they have received via this great man. 

On 18 March 1973 (Purim 5733) the Rebbe gave this insight on Esther as a model for all Jewish women. A beautiful lesson on how the saving of the Jewish home and family depends on the self-sacrifice of the Jewish woman.
