What Must we learn from

Esther?

“Do NOT think...”

“in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews”

I’M SAFE!

“Do NOT think...”

“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish.“

I’LL KEEP SILENT!

“Do NOT think...”

“And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

IT’S SOMEBODY ELSE’S PROBLEM!

“Do NOT think...”

IT’S SOMEBODY ELSE’S PROBLEM!

I’M SAFE!

I’LL KEEP SILENT!
