I don't remember referencing these ladies when I was little. Sadly, I think Mordechai was all of my teachers' "chosen guy." Tziporah, your example is an especially good one that kids acn easily relate to. And Rivster, it seems to me that Tinkerbelle would totally be welcome at Shabbat! :) Vashti and Esther have come up more than just a few times for us, too.

We actually used Vashti as an example of when to say "no" to a friend's bad suggestion last week, and he got it. I don't get why the Orthodox think Mordechai's the hero of the story. I really don't. eah, I love that my little guy finally got a Jewish story with a female hero.

I don’t get why the Orthodox think Mordechai’s the hero of the story. I really don’t.
