Amazing to find out so many things about this story that were unknown to the majority of people. Like everything else, most of the teachings of the TaNak was distorted over the years. Thank you so much for bringing us to the light. The True Torah of Light. Blessed be Hashem, King of the Universe. Mighty G-d!!!! There will be more things coming to the open in the coming years. The redemption of Yisrael, is close. The truth will be the Light of the nations through the deboted Jews who follow through Torah Teachings. Trust in Hashem, blessed be He. For even distortion is intended in the Letters, the Mighty King will turn them into Truth. The enemy is doomed to go into the pit.

Thank you Baruch Davidson for having me read that again. I thought she fled from the roof and hid but now I see she fell to her death. Interesting indeed.
|
Was Haman's daughter also executed or died somehow during this?
|
Please, how is it known that Haman was executed on Nissan 17?
|
This story really sounds great. I am just wondering which source book did you get all of this.
Many in the stories are not found in the bible.
Please mention which book did you use.

What an awesome happening and what great encouragement this should be to all the Jews and to us non-Jews who are praying for Israel and the Jews!!!
With G-d on your side,you need not fear.He will always protect His holy people!

As we are studying the holiday, I can't help but think that perhaps the records on this historical accounts have been antisemitically erased. Such is the hatred of our people that as you research it through secular history all you hear is that Esther is legend or myth and not a historical account of our deliverance. How do you answer to their denying of such true account with evidence of dates and names?

THank you so much for printing this. I have just read it to myself and my husband, We are religious people but we still need to hear more details and this was magnificent, inspirational, moving.
We didn't know anything about the throne and how many times it was taken away into various places.
THanks again
