Achashverosh: Fickle Fool or Machiavellian Monarch – Neima Novetsky – ALHATORAH.ORG
Update: 2019-03-07
Description
When Esther reveals herself and Haman's plot to Achashverosh, he reacts with shock and fury, demanding to know who would dare conceive of such a plot. But considering that the king had approved of Haman's plan just a few days earlier, why was he so surprised? How could he be unaware of Haman's role? What does this story reveal about Achashverosh's character? Does it prove that he really was just a fickle fool, or might there be more than meets the eye? This Torahcast, brought to you by ALHATORAH.ORG, featuring Neima Novetsky, explores these questions and more.
