Lesson

Esther Rabbah compiles multiple interpretations and expansions on the Book of Esther, filling in gaps, adding rich details, and providing new perspectives on all the major (and minor) players. Have you ever been curious about Esther’s early life or wanted to know more about Mordekhai? Have you wondered about Haman’s backstory, or what Vashti was thinking? This collection features five sheets which delve into the characters and plot lines of the Book of Esther. You will learn how the midrash interprets the biblical text, provides fresh insights, and maybe even change how you understand the central figures of the story.
