And who knoweth whether thou art not come to royal estate for such a time as this?

Esther 4:14 (The Israel Bible™)

וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ אִם לְעֵת כָּזֹאת הִגַּעַתְּ לַמַּלְכוּת

Jerusalem Inspiration

Have you ever had a "bad" experience only to later discover that it was all for the best? Esther was the unwilling wife of an anti-Semitic king, forced to live a secret life as a Jew. Yet her predicament placed her in the perfect position to rise up and save the Jewish people. Purim is the holiday of tapping into our inner strengths and bringing out our best qualities and potential. On the holiday of Purim we celebrate with the reading of the Purim story from the Scroll of Esther. Read along while listening to the scroll read aloud from our scroll of Esther eBook with audio.
