Who was Esther, what is her legacy, and how has she been used as a heroic symbol throughout history? Join Reverend Gloria Hammond-White, Co-Pastor of Bethel AME Church; Celene Ibrahim, Islamic scholar and cultural historian; and Rabbi Rachel Adelman of Hebrew College for a conversation that spans the ages, exploring the roles of women in religious texts as archetypes for faith, leadership, and bravery. How have people found themselves and their struggles reflected in these sacred texts and used them as validation for a wide range of beliefs?
