U / Dawn Political teachins on Esther / Hazony

In 'The Dawn: Political Teachings of the Book of Esther,' Yoram Hazony explores the political philosophy found in the biblical Book of Esther. The book presents an analysis of the story's themes, including power, identity, and survival, arguing that the Book of Esther offers valuable insights into the nature of politics and leadership. Hazony interprets the narrative as a complex political strategy employed by Jews living under foreign rule, providing a profound reflection on the challenges faced by minorities in maintaining their identity and ethical values in diaspora.
