Below is an amazing painting by Rembrandt from the year 1660 of Esther revealing the evil plans of Haman to King Xerxes at the banquet in chapter 7.\u00a0 Check out how Haman is off in the left in the shadows\u2026 apropos!<\/p>\n

Okay, somehow I forgot that the book of Esther ended with the Jewish holiday of Purim being instituted.\u00a0 A good FAQ from a Jewish website about Purim is at this link.\u00a0 In doing a google image search on Purim I quickly realized that folks dress up for this celebratory Jewish holiday!\u00a0 Below is a modern day Purim mask:<\/p>\n

There is also a device called the Purim \u201cgragger\u201d, which is a noisemaker.\u00a0 When the Purim story is read aloud from the book of Esther everyone boos and shakes their graggers whenever Haman\u2019s name is mentioned!\u00a0 (I\u2019m not kidding \u2013 it sounds like fun to me! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 More on Purim graggers, including how you can make your own, is online here. Below is a picture of a gragger, and below that is a picture of a woman shaking a gragger at the sound of Haman\u2019s name being read during Purim!<\/p>\n
