Ester – la straniera, la regina, la nascosta – è protagonista del libro biblico che porta il suo nome, il rotolo che viene letto nella festa di Purim, in cui tra lacrime e sorrisi si parla della storia e di come cambiarla sia azione possibile.

Dal fatto che ognuno (e a qualsiasi età) può intraprendere una strada che tutti chiamano “destino”, ma che invece è un percorso di conoscenza e c...

EL LIBRO DE ESTER SE LEE DE MANERA MUY PARECIDA A UN CUENTO DE HADAS: una joven reina judía, su sabio primo mayor, un malvado siervo real y un rey egocentrista. Sin embargo, el libro de Ester no es un cuento de hadas. Desde el principio hasta el final del libro, Dios es el personaje principal de la historia, incluso cuando ni siquiera se le menciona.
