The book of Esther tells the story of a beautiful orphan who hides her Jewish identity, becomes Queen of Persia and saves her people from destruction. Esther has been criticized for being a ‘bad Jew’; flouting a tradition, marrying a gentile and being vengeful and bloodthirsty. Yet, with great courage, wisdom and imagination, she stops a pogrom and inspires generations of Jews. Follow Parable for more Religious History documentaries!
