GUEST POST: REFUTING THE FANS OF VASHTI

REFUTING THE FANS OF VASHTI
(a guest post by Mr. Cohen)
======================================

In recent years, Jewish Feminists have claimed that Vashti,
the wife of Haman from the Biblical Book of Esther,

was a Feminist hero.

This foolish attitude is based on total ignorance of Torah,

and therefore can be refuted with knowledge of Torah.

======================================

Why Vashti was evil [quick summary]:

======================================

(1) Vashti desecrated the sacred garments of

the Jewish High Priest (Midrash Rabah on the

Biblical Book of Esther, chapter 3, paragraph 9).

(2) Vashti influenced King Achashverosh to

stop the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple

in Jerusalem (Midrash Rabah on the Biblical

Book of Esther, chapter 5, paragraph 2).

(3) Vashti deserved punishment because she forced

Jewish women to work on Shabbat [while naked]

(Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer, chapter 48 and also

Babylonian Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 12B).

(4) Vashti did not come [when she was summoned

by her husband, King Achashverosh], only because

she was suddenly struck with leprosy (Babylonian

Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 12B).

(5) Vashti is the ONLY woman who is explicitly

identified as an evil woman [ושתי הרשעה] by the Talmud

(Babylonian Talmud, tractate Megillah, page 12B).

Even the wives of Esau and the wife of Lot were

never explicitly labeled as evil women by the Talmud.

Even Zeresh, the wife of Haman [וַיְסַפֵּר הָמָן לְזֶרֶשׁ אִשְׁתּוֹ],

from the Book of Esther, chapter 6, verse 13, was never

explicitly labeled as an evil woman by the Talmud.

CONCLUSION:

Vashti was: not a hero, and not a Feminist and not righteous.

Vashti does not deserve the admiration of Jewish Feminists or any sane person.
