A Purim Search for the Modern Day Jewish Queen
While women have climbed quite high on the social ladder, not a single woman in our times has followed Queen Esther as
“The Jewish Queen.”
So, on Purim day, we undertook a worldwide search to find the closest thing we have to a Jewish Queen today. Here are our candidates:
- Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky – Serious yichus, and married a “nice Jewish boy”
- Ivanka Trump – an Orthodox heiress with a designer shoe line
- Bar Rafaeli – Leonardo DiCaprio’s Israeli supermodel
- Gwyneth Paltrow – the Celebrity daughter of a rabbinic dynasty
- Natalie Portman – the Black Swan and Pride of Israel
- Madonna – She’s not Jewish, but loves Kabbalah
- Queen Rania of Jordan – Ok, she’s not Jewish either, but her next-door-neighbor is Israel
And that’s it! Oy vey, Achashveirosh wouldn’t have too many choices, now would he?
