Who would Esther be without Mordecai? Where would Esther be without Mordecai? There are so many teachings about Esther. It’s always about Esther. However, would she have even existed without Mordecai? Would she have made, from the eunuch Hegai gatekeeper to the king’s harem, to the palace to become the queen? Would Esther have had the courage and level headedness to declare, “if I perish, I perish?” We have not given the honor that is due to Mordecai. He was the foundation, the anchor, the strength, wisdom and courage that raised and groomed Esther, imparting into her precision, skillful communication, character, discernment and quiet but effective power. Mordecai raised a child who became the woman who saved a nation. He was watchful, strategic, caring, fearless, God-confident and immovable. The Book of Esther itself ends with praising and celebrating Mordecai and not Esther. To all the Mordecai’s out there, please rise up. Please stand up.
