About "Hadassah"

This regal portrait of Queen Esther, crowned with gold and light, embodies both courage and divine calling. Her gaze is steady, unyielding, as colors of strength and sacrifice wash across her face. Ancient Hebrew script weaves into the background, rooting her story in holy history, while the glowing arch suggests the presence of God guiding her destiny. The painting recalls Mordecai's challenge in Esther 4:13-14, that she had come to royal position "for such a time as this." In Hadassah, Esther is not merely a biblical figure but a timeless symbol of faith, bravery, and the transformative role of women chosen for God's purposes.

Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
