Here is a movie that might be of interest and this Jewish holiday that the movie describes occurs in a few week's time.
The film is
One Night with the King.
I enjoyed this movie even though the critics did not. It only gets 19% approval rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes but 80% from the Rotten Tomatoes' audience.
One Night With the King - Rotten Tomatoes
It is about the history of the Purim in the Jewish faith which I knew very little about as I am not Jewish nor a regular Church goer. I only go to the Church on the Square once in a while. The story comes from the Old Testament's Book of Esther.

Anyone else seen this movie? The characters are a bit heavily drawn into good and evil caricatures and the king seems like a weakling, but I did like learning something about Jewish history.
