Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game and you keep losing to your friend. You tell your family about it, and they tell you that if your friend is really good at the game, you won't beat them. That's kind of what's happening here, but with grown-ups and bigger problems.
Historical Background
The book of Esther was written to recount the events that led to the Jewish festival of Purim. It was likely written during the Persian period, possibly by an anonymous author. The story is set in the Persian Empire and highlights the survival and triumph of the Jewish people against a plot to destroy them.
Living It Out Today
