Purim is one of my favorite
holidays because I always
got to be Queen Esther
who doesn’t want to be
Queen Esther ancient heroine.
I didn’t know until
I moved to New York City
so many years ago
went to Zabars for hamantaschen
and saw women in front of the store
with signs: Down With Esther
Up With Vashti. I asked
one of the women if it were possible
to like both Esther and Vashti
and she said no but I
ignored her, bought hamantaschen,
and still celebrate Purim
and Esther and Vashti,
still eat many hamantaschen
every year.
You are Queen Esther every day.
Best wishes!
