MEGILLAH
Scroll Of Esther
Megillat Esther, “The Scroll of Esther,” is a firsthand account of the events of Purim, written by the heroes themselves-Esther and Mordechai.
The megillah is read twice in the course of the festival: on the eve of Purim, and during Purim day. It is read in the original Hebrew from a parchment scroll.
HAND-PAINTED MEGILLAT ESTHER
Renaissance-Inspired Masterpiece
This unique, hand-painted Megillat Esther is created using an illustration technique inspired by the Renaissance style, bringing timeless artistry to the sacred story of Purim.
Each illustration depicts scenes from the Megillat Esther manuscript, capturing the events of the Purim story with depth, symbolism, and refined detail.
Hand-painted on kosher parchment by Inna Berl.
KLEY KODESH – SACRED VESSELS COLLECTION
This Megillah features a continuous floral design flowing from beginning to end, with Jewish symbols decorating the spaces between each column.
The name “Kley Kodesh” (Sacred Vessels) reflects the inspiration behind the illustrations, which incorporate vessels used in the Holy Temple by the Priests, based on research by the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.
The illustrations are carefully placed between the columns, enhancing both the visual harmony and spiritual meaning of the scroll.
SYMBOLISM
Lion – Symbol of the Tribe of Judah, representing strength, courage, and sovereignty. A central motif in Jewish ceremonial art.
Deer – Symbol of the Tribe of Naphtali, representing grace, beauty, and devotion. Mentioned in Shir HaShirim (Song of Songs) and widely used in Jewish decorative traditions.
Eagle – A powerful mystical symbol referenced in the Zohar (III 233a), representing spiritual elevation and divine protection.
Above the text, these symbols—lions, deer, and eagles—create a majestic and meaningful composition.

THE FIVE SCROLLS – HAMESH MEGILLOT
The Five Scrolls, known in Hebrew as Hamesh Megillot (חמש מגילות), are part of the Ketuvim (“Writings”), the third section of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible).
These five relatively short biblical books are traditionally grouped together in Jewish heritage and are each associated with a specific holiday and time of year.
