About this episode
# 248 - The Rise of Esther - In this episode of The Chosen People with Yael Eckstein, Mordecai’s public grief forces Esther to choose between palace safety and covenant courage, leading her to fast, reveal her true name—Hadassah—and step toward the throne “for such a time as this.” With the golden scepter extended and a strategic banquet set, her quiet wisdom begins to unravel Haman’s plot and awaken hope for her people.
