Lesson
Like most Jewish texts, Megillat Esther teaches strong values, morals and ethics. Behind the miracles in this story lies the value of community, and we learn that communities are comprised of both bullies and allies. It is good for our mental health to identify who or what in our lives is a “Haman” and who or what is a “Mordecai.” When we reflect on these ideas, we can decide what boundaries to set or the people to whom we can go to for support.
