Notes for a Meditation on Esther and Loyalty.
Esther 4:8-16.
(Esther’s decision to appeal to the king in spite of a
threat of death.)
To use this lesson, you must read the entire Book of
Esther, which is a good story and not very long.
It will be easy to tell the story as an example of loyalty.
The Jewish community celebrates Esther in the Festival
of Purim. (To see a religious
calendar, click here.)
