Tevet 1
In
355 BCE, Esther, after having won a kingdom-wide
beauty pageant, was taken to King Achashverosh
(Esther 2:16). Esther's presence in the king's
palace enabled her to advocate on behalf of the
Jews, and gain a reversal of Haman's decree to
annihilate the Jewish people. This series of
miraculous events is recorded in the biblical Scroll
of Esther, and commemorated each year on the holiday
of Purim.
