Hebrew Micrography Card. On Purim, we read the story of Queen Esther who is depicted in this image. Esther becomes the heroine when she bravely approaches the King to ask him to save the Jews from Haman's evil plot to put all the Jews to death. By doing so, she admits to the King that she herself is a Jew. The King listened to her and the gallows which Haman had been constructing for the Jews were used on him. Her success is celebrated with joy and merriment each year as we recall this story of the Jewish people's persistence in the face of oppression.
