The Book of Esther in 10 Minutes

No miracles, no prophets — just courage, coincidence, and a queen who risks everything. The Book of Esther reads like a political thriller with divine undertones: a Jewish orphan rises to royalty in Persia, an evil adviser plots genocide, and fate turns on a royal sleepless night. In this episode, we step inside the Purim story — costumes, feasts, and all — to see how a tale with no mention of God becomes one of Judaism's boldest celebrations of faith. Esther is about hidden identity and revealed strength, the idea that salvation can come through ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It's a reminder that even when God seems silent, the story is still being written — and courage is the ink.
