“…Even the decision of Esther requesting of Haman's death, is this merely a spark of emotions, or a planned political strategy? In later Purim's tradition commemorating this event we would know that the triumph over Haman's is actually a political belief that Jews has the necessities of self-defense against someone or some races that may considered as enemies (Carruthers, 2020).…”

Indonesia stands firm in its democratic values and respects its presidential election in 2024. However, the scent of the history of identity politics still lingers and threatens the harmony of voting. Even though identity politics seem to be a common and acceptable method, it bears danger, especially to Christians as a minority. This can happen through the burdens and biases of Christians to vote. Through descriptive literature methods of biblical perspective with contextual interpretation alongside political reviews and literature, this paper tries to answer the question of how a Christian should vote for their future leader amidst the pressure of identity politics. The Bible can be a clear guideline to show that such political events and methods had already occurred in the Old Testament and New Testament eras. The wisdom contained in the Proverbs that was intended for future young leaders, as well as the wisdom of Jesus Christ, can help shape the answer on how a Christian should vote for their future leaders. This paper finds that Christians as minorities should try to be objective following biblical standards and the quality of a leader, such as righteousness, multiple councils, servanthood, and accountability, rather than drowning in misconceptions of defensive and subjective votes based on religion-ethnicity sameness or popular opinion.

“…En el libro de Ester encontramos ejemplos de estos cambios. Hay una regulación de las relaciones sociales por decreto en el que se estipula que las mujeres den respeto a sus maridos (1,20). A nivel de poder y jerarquía, Ester pasa de ser una huérfana (2,7) a ser reina (2,17), Mardoqueo de ser funcionario (2,21) a segundo del reino (10,3); Amán, de ser visir (3,1) a la muerte (7,10) y Vastí de ser Salmanticensis 68 ( 2021)…”

“…Ester recibe en posesión las propiedades de Amán (8,7). A nivel jurídico, Ester y Mardoqueo pasan de ser proscritos por la ley a dictaminar otras leyes (9,20). Ester es la que determina las costumbres de su pueblo como el luto de Mardoqueo (4,1) y comprobamos cómo los valores de respeto desaparecen.…”

“…El resultado de estos cambios es que una vida mejor para los judíos es posible. Esta dinámica de cambios viene establecida en ritos de inversión 19 , que en nuestro caso es la fiesta de los Purim, donde todo cambia 20 . El único personaje estable es el rey, que con su estabilidad da cimientos al nuevo orden iniciado por Ester y Mardoqueo.…”

El libro hebreo de Ester tiene seis protagonistas: Asuero, Vastí, Mardoqueo, Amán, Ester y los judíos. Se ha discutido mucho sobre cual de ellos tiene un papel principal. Mientras que hay distintos motivos para elegir uno u otro, casi nadie se decanta por el rey Asuero que ha sido puesto aparte como una caricatura de un monarca inútil. Partiendo de un aná-lisis narrativo del texto hebreo del libro de Ester, este articulo estudia y argumenta la importancia de este personaje en la trama del relato y en la interpretación posterior del libro

Between Queen Esther and Marie-Antoinette: Courtly Influence on an Esther Scroll in the Braginsky Collection

There is an Esther scroll in the Braginsky manuscript collection (Braginsky Collection Megillah 7) that was produced in Alsace in the second half of the eighteenth century. The manuscript has not yet caught the attention of scholars, and I would like to shed some light on its artistic design in the context of French noble society. Although its illustrations appear naïve, they are typical of other Esther scrolls of that time and place. Based on contemporary art and textual evidence, I focus on the depiction of women in the megillah, and I argue that the scroll portrays an intimate understanding of the cultural ambience and the decorum of Parisian high society and bourgeoisie during Marie-Antoinette’s lifetime.
