Queen Esther, chosen by the Persian King to be his wife, was beautiful but shy and modest. She is also courageous and heroic, as she stands up to Evil Haman, and saves her people.
Queen Esther’s Big Secret is based on the story told in the Scroll of Esther.
The Scroll of Esther, known as the Megillah or Megillat Esther is read on Purim in synagogues around the world. It commemorates the events of the days during which Haman’s plot to eliminate the Jews of Persia was met by the heroic deeds of Queen Esther, the Jewish heroine who saved her people.
ABOUT PURIM
Purim is an important Jewish holiday and one of the favorite holidays for Jewish kids.
