I read a great essay that (IIRC) was posted on FR, several years ago. I tried, but have not been able to find it again. It pointed out the parallels between Esther and Patrick, who are usually celebrated within a week of each other. Both were placed in difficult circumstances For Such a Time as This, and both accomplished great things.

Come to think of it, I think I’ll go and have some Hamantashen dunked in Guinness.

Or maybe not.
