📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Esther, the Jewish people in the Persian Empire were saved from a genocidal plot orchestrated by Haman through the courage of Queen Esther and Mordecai. This led to the Jews defeating their enemies on the 13th of Adar, turning the tide of their persecution. As a result, they established the 14th and 15th of Adar as annual days of celebration to remember their deliverance, which became the festival of Purim.
