Taanit Esther: Why Fast Before The Happiest Day of the Year?

Check out more Purim courses at www.alephbeta....
Purim’s almost here! But first, before the happiest day of the year, we’re going to spend the day… fasting. So why do we fast on this day? Is Taanit Esther just a burden we need to get through before all the fun begins, or is there something more to it?

This particular fast is not a "sad" one; unlike our other fast days. It is supposed to elevate and inspire.
