Description: Character study of the Biblical queen as a metaphor for Judaism in exile.
Class 23 - THE ESSENCE OF ESTHER A CHARACTER STUDY OF JUDAISM IN EXILE With Purim come and gone, Women in Judaism reflects on its essence, by taking a deeper look at Queen Esther. Our sometimes misconstrued image of her - often instilled in us as children - is of a beautiful woman, lucky enough to be chosen as queen of the vast Persian empire, who later becomes heroine of her own Jewish Nation. In fact, much of this picture is inaccurate. The Book of Esther substantiates the fact that, from the moment Esther was taken into the palace and for several years prior, her life was terribly difficult.
