#BookOfEsther

The biblical book that tells the story of Purim, reading it from a handwritten scroll is one of the four mitzvahs of the holiday.

On Purim, it’s a mitzvah to hear the story of Esther read from a scroll—called a “megillah”—both by day and by night.

Mordechai was the leader of the Jews and cousin of Queen Esther, his co-hero in the Purim story.
