Fill The Void + Q&A (U)

Yochay is devastated when his wife Esther dies in childbirth on Purim. After some time for reflection, Yochay’s mother speaks to Esther’s mother, Rivka, and suggests that it would be best for her son and his little boy, Mordechai, if Yochay were to remarry. Rivka is horrified by the prospect of losing her grandson so she makes a bold proposal: that Yochay marries Esther’s younger sister Shira.
