The Book of Esther was read at the Feast of Purim to commemorate the great deliverance of the Jewish nation brought about by God through Esther. Jews today still read Esther during Purim.
Kitabu cha Esta kilisomwa katika Sikukuu ya Purimu ya kuadhimisha ukombozi mkubwa wa taifa la Wayahudi ulioletwa na Mungu kupitia kwa Esta. Bado Wayahudi siku hizi wanasoma kitabu cha Esta wakati wa Purimu.
