Esther Scroll

The Esther Scroll is a handwritten parchment that contains the biblical Book of Esther, central to the Jewish holiday of Purim. It is traditionally handwritten by a skilled scribe on parchment and is rolled up like a scroll. During Purim, the scroll is read aloud in synagogues to recount how Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai saved the Jewish people from persecution in ancient Persia. The Esther Scroll is treated with great respect and dignity, symbolizing the preservation of Jewish identity and history. Its artistic calligraphy and meticulous craftsmanship reflect its significance in Jewish tradition and communal celebrations.
