Esther: When God is Hidden

Mar 15, 2025    Rabbi Ira Brawer

One of the most interesting facts about the book of Esther that sets it apart from all the other books of the Bible is that God is not mentioned. While He is apparently "hidden" from the story, his Presence is throughout. Sometimes in our own lives it feels like He is hidden, but we can be confident that regardless of what we may be going through He is always working, just as He was in the story of Esther.
