Nowhere in the megilla does it say that Vashti was killed. Some suggest that she was taken by Haman (who desired to be king) as his wife. He then changed her name to zeresh. The letters of zeresh are just one off from vashti. That’s how Zereresh knew to tell Haman that if this mordechai was m’zera yehudim, you will fall to bottom. How did she know? what experience did she have? Now if she were of royal decent, it makes sense that she knew. Zeresh/Vashti knew what happened to her grandfather Balshetzer and was tharefore able to predict what would happen to hamman.
And gthere’s alot more…

NJ Mom, Your last post just says asks how to share your family tree, but it doesn’t tell anything else.
If you would be able to help me out here, I’d be so appreciative. Thanks
NJ MOM,
Please see my last post.Thanks
$100 to anyone who can find the missing link of the Machatzis Hashekel once Owned by the Chasam Sofer. I have seen (and touched) this coin and I know where it is. I hope someone can help me authenticate it. The first step is to find out about the last heir to the coin – William H Bauer.
The following statement was made by William H. Baur on June 12, 2013. He has since passed away (jan 2015). The statement is titled “Family Medal”.
The Jewish Medal was first owned by a famous Jewish rabbin Rabi Mosses Sofer who left it for his son Abraham, it was inherited by Rosie who gave it to Akiba who lived in Germany he gave this medal to his daughter Gertrude and she brought it to the United States. She gave it to Morris who gave it to his daughter, my grandmother who gave it as a gift to me.
William H BauerThat was word for word with all (missing) punctuation exactly as it is written. The $100 challenge is to figure out who is Morris’s daughter, Wiliam’s grandmother. (Consider that possibility that Morris may be Gertrude’s husband who had a daughter from a different marriage. I suggest that because I could not find any Baur Family in the genealogy line. But it’s just a guess.)
Does anyone know what happened to the machatzis hashekel that was owned by the chassam sofer and inherited by the ksav sofer. I believe I have the hand to hand info, but i’d like to know if the info i have is correct.
