Tomb of Esther and Mordechai

Above each grave is built a kind of canopy, over which colorful scarves are draped. An old custom held that those seeking health and children would place a scarf on Mordechai’s grave, and those seeking livelihood, one on Esther’s grave. Every morning, the caretaker would remove most of them, leaving only two.
On the walls of the chamber appear stone reliefs and Hebrew verses, including “There was a Jewish man in Shushan the capital,” alongside the inscription: “The Lord reigns, the Lord has reigned, the Lord shall reign forever and ever.”
