Hi,
"One reason why the Name of Gd does not appear in the Megilah is that the Megilah was given to the Persian and Median scribes for recording."
(Taamei haMinhagim 879, citing the Mordechai)
Maharil explains: The concern was that Persian/Median scribes would think of their own gods when recording Gd's Name.
Have an easy and meaningful fast,
Mordechai

From whom was the Megilah given to record? It never occured to me to identify the Ba'al Ha Megilah.

ReplyDeleteBased on the megilah itself (9:29), Esther wrote it.
