March 11: Purim
Only the King could save the Jewish people and that only by issuing another decree. Esther had to talk to the King. To prepare for this meeting Esther issued a fast (Esther 4:15-16). In commemoration of that fast many people today still fast one day for the preservation of Israel. This year the “Fast of Esther” began at dawn on March 20th.
