Today, there is one Star of David visible from space. Designed by a Persian Jew, it sits over the tombs of Mordechai and Esther in Hamadan, in modern day Iran. Learn more about the Iran-Purim connection with this episode of our Holidays Series.
Note: The names and dates of the Persian kings are translated based on generally accepted research, although in the Septuagint, the name Ahashverosh is translated to Artexerxes who followed Xerxes in the line of kings.
