One of the great heroines of the Old Testament, Hadassah was a
beautiful, graceful young woman who put her faith in God and her
guardian, her cousin Mordecai.
She dreams of marrying Shamir, a
tall, handsome, studious young man who is the rabbi’s son. Her heart
beats faster when she hears the sound of his deep voice as he reads the
Torah. And she hopes that he will visit Mordecai soon to present a
betrothal request.
Then, an upheaval in King Xerxes’s palace changes
everything. Queen Vashti has been banished and an edict goes out for
all qualified young virgins throughout the empire to be taken to the
palace as he searches for a new queen.
Fear strikes in the hearts of
many, including Mordecai, as he realizes Hadassah will be taken. To
hide her identity as a Jew, he tells her to go by the name of Esther.
Since he works as a record-keeper at the king’s gates, he can keep tabs
on how she is doing.
Hadassah: Queen Esther of Persia imagines what life was like for the woman who saved her people—and perhaps found love in the process.
