The Jews Defend Themselves
The chapter explores the legal means the Jews acquire to defend themselves and retaliate against their enemies, resulting in warfare and bloodshed. The speakers discuss the events in Esther 9:1-10:3, focusing on the idea of a righteous war and examining the context of the killings. They emphasize that it was a defensive response to the threat against the Jews and challenge the portrayal of the Jews as indiscriminate killers.
