Esther, wife of the Persian king Ahasuerus, and her cousin Mordechai saved the lives of thousands of Jews in Susa from the intrigues of the king’s chief commander, Haman, as described in the biblical book of Esther, and is enacted every Purim in all the Jewish communities of the world. Ecbatana, the former capital of the Medes, and in our times Hamadan, was the summer residence of the Persian kings, to which Esther and Mordechai are said to have retired from the court after the death of Ahasuerus. Here they were buried in a common tomb, which is still the most important Jewish pilgrimage site in Iran.

We do not know how the original tomb looked. The modern building was constructed in 1602, in the time of Shah Abbas the Great. It follows with its double inner space, burial chamber, community room, and the dome crowning the tomb, the type of the Shiite pilgrimage sites erected for the emamzâdehs, the descendants of the holy Imams. As the first picture above shows, in the early 19th century it still stood outside of the city, but by the end of the century the local bazaar flowed around it. Thousands of Jews from Iran and other countries visited this place every year, covering a grueling trip to the desert surrounding Hamadan on foot or with caravan. According to contemporary travelogues, one could approach the tomb only with a local, through a maze of doorways and inner courtyards, with the way to the sarcophagi leading through a small rose garden and an ornate gate.

Tonight through tomorrow is the Jewish holiday Purim. In this picture, kids are celebrating Purim at the Hebrew Institute of Far Rockaway, 1950.

A celebratory event coinciding with the spring, Purim commemorates the salvation of Jewish subjects in the Persian Achaemenid Empire from Haman, a royal vizier who planned to murder the whole population in a single day. The main antagonist in the Book of Esther, Haman had thrown "lots" to determine the date of the slaughter—the 13th day of the Hebrew month of Adar. Instead, he saw his plans undone by the Jewish leader Mordecai and his cousin and adopted daughter, Esther.⁠

The traditional wearing of costumes and masks at Purim is thought to have been influenced by Roman carnivals of the 15th century. ⁠

Ahasuerus and Haman

Artist: Aert de Gelder (Dutch, 1645–1727)

Date: 1680–1684

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham, England

DESCRIPTION

King Ahasuerus listens to the evil promptings of his first minister Haman. According to the biblical story, Haman plotted a massacre of the Jews in the Persian Empire. Here, he seeks to poison the king’s mind against them. de Gelder painted many scenes from the story which culminates with Esther, the king’s Jewish wife, revealing the plot against her people. The artist was Rembrandt’s last pupil, studying in his studio from 1661 to 1663. He adopted his master’s rich brushwork and a love of ornate oriental costumes suitable for biblical subjects.

Haman's Plot to Destroy the Jews | Esther 3:5-6

"When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes."

Esther Goes Before the King

1 It so happened that on the third day Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace, opposite the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the palace, opposite the entrance. 2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she met with his approval. The king extended to Esther the gold scepter that was in his hand, and Esther approached and touched the end of the scepter.

3 The king said to her, “What is on your mind, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even as much as half the kingdom will be given to you.”

4 Esther replied, “If the king is so inclined, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for the king.” 5 The king replied, “Find Haman quickly so that we can do as Esther requests.”

So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 6 While at the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your request? It shall be given to you. What is your petition? Ask for as much as half the kingdom, and it shall be done.”

7 Esther responded, “My request and my petition is this: 8 If I have found favor in the king’s sight and if the king is inclined to grant my request and approve my petition, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet that I will prepare for them. At that time I will do as the king wishes.”

Haman Expresses His Hatred of Mordecai

9 Now Haman went forth that day pleased and very much encouraged. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and he did not rise or tremble in his presence, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai. 10 But Haman restrained himself and went on to his home.

He then sent for his friends to join him, along with his wife Zeresh. 11 Haman then recounted to them his fabulous wealth, his many sons, and how the king had magnified him and exalted him over the king’s other officials and servants. 12 Haman said, “Furthermore, Queen Esther invited only me to accompany the king to the banquet that she prepared. And also tomorrow I am invited along with the king. 13 Yet all this fails to satisfy me so long as I have to see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”

14 Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a gallows 75 feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet contented.”

It seemed like a good idea to Haman, so he had the gallows built. — Esther 5 | New English Translation (NET Bible) New English Translation ® copyright ©1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C.

I was wondering who Haman was and why all the Jewish people on my timeline were saying he's an anti-Semetic jerk. I assumed he was some political figure or maybe celebrity who had starting saying anti-Semetic stuff.

I looked him up, and I guess I wasn't completely wrong.

If you got my Sunday email today, I started it with a recap of the Purim story, for those less familiar with it...

and yes, it is - as we say in Hebrew, אותה גברת בשינוי אדרת, 'the same lady wearing a different hat'. A different story but basically the same:

The Jews are hated, someone's life mission is to kill us, others are like 'Yeah, let's kills those Jews once and for all!'... and at the end we survive. Scarred, but we survive.

While Haman in Hebrew sounds the same המן ha-'man, and Hamas in Hebrew is a little different - kha-'mas חמאס, their main goal in life was to kill us.

And so, in the spirit of Purim, I say: GET A LIFE. Killing Jews is not it.

And if you're not getting my emails yet, we can fix that. Just comment the word EMAIL, and I will get you on that list.
