Was she a victim or villian? Okay to mourn her death or remember her as well during the fasting? One video called her death a miracle as well since it left the opening for Esther but didn't she also oppose the king? She seemed a little defiant of his ways. Shushan was a dangerous place, especially if you were against the wrong person in the royal household.

Before the celebration comes a day of battle as the struggle to survive, the long decline into the abyss, the final desperate hours, suddenly give way to the upheaval of an impossible salvation. We remember the pain, the sense of the grave closing over us, the bodies lying everywhere, the certainty that we will be next. We accept the hopelessness of our situation and then we walk out of the grave and praising G-d, sit down to the feast."<br /><br /><br />Beautiful description of Purim.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-87868136076765297412017-03-12T21:37:01.662-04:002017-03-12T21:37:01.662-04:00Thanks for that.
