Shalom! I hope you all have had a good week and are looking forward to a restful Shabbat and weekend! It's hard to believe, but Purim is just around the corner! This week's article takes a look at Queen Vashti.

Queen Vashti only appears at the beginning of Megillat Esther and is best known for disobeying King Ahasuerus, but many have tried to reexamine her story.
