James M Branum - יעקב מתתיהו ☮https://anabaptistworld.org/queen-vashti-says-no/
If you are like me and looking for an alternative way to engage with the #Jewish holiday of #Purim this year, I strongly recommend this bit of midrash (which lets us see into the mind of #QueenVashti before she bravely said no to the king) written by a professor at Eastern #Mennonite University.
Also, on a side note, I'm really happy with the number of recent articles in Anabaptist World magazine that have brought Jewish thinking and ways of engagement (such as midrash) to its pages. It obviously fits into my own bi-religious orientation, but I also think there is fertile ground for some new epiphanies when we consider concepts from different theological/philosophical perspectives.
