The Book of Esther tells us that the Purim scroll was sent to 127 lands—from India to Ethiopia—spreading the story across vast distances. "Esther Without Borders" is an ongoing project created by David Moss, which began in Bali in 1990 and continues today. Through this initiative, David commissions folk artists from diverse cultures to illustrate six key scenes from the Book of Esther, each through the lens of their own unique artistic traditions—imagining the story unfolding in their own communities. The results are often breathtaking, always captivating, and consistently full of charm and joy. Join David on a global journey through the pages of the Megillah as we explore the stunning artistic expressions that bring Esther’s story to life around the world. The Ganze Megillah!
