We finish Nehemiah and begin Esther this week.
Esther is a Jewish novella. Its setting is the Jewish diaspora community in the Persian Empire during Ahasuerus' reign. Esther is a young Jewish orphan. She becomes the Persian queen who rescues the Jews from the genocidal plot of one of king's advisors, Haman.
The book of Esther establishes the Jewish Festival of Purim, named after the lots Haman cast to determine the date of the genocide [the word "purim" means "lots].
