The ancient biblical festival of Purim is here again, this year celebrated from sundown March 2 to sundown March 3. And once again, Israel is at war with Iran. Could it be that history will repeat itself, the evildoers in Iran will be vanquished, and Israel will be delivered from her enemies?

The Book of Esther, recounting events that took place 2,400 years ago, tells the story of the sinister plot of Haman, a highly esteemed Persian official, to wipe out the Jewish people throughout the vast Persian empire.
