<p>It is said that Tehillim 22 describes what will happen to the Jewish people in the time of the Persians and the story of Esther. In this activity you are going to do some detective work to find out what the connections are between the story of Esther and Tehillim 22! Once you have collected enough evidence then you will write a one paragraph Detective Report presenting your findings!</p>
