A:
History books record events known to have happened, along with interpretations of those events. When historians look at the Book of Esther, they realise that this is not a book of history, as there are far too many historical errors. Among other things, the chronology of Persian history is wrong and there is no historical record of Esther or of her predecessor, Vashti. Furthermore, Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. The consensus is that the Book of Esther is a second-century-BCE novel, written centuries after the events portrayed, and therefore Queen Esther is not directly relevant to the history of Judaism. However, the Book of Esther has had considerable impact on Jewish tradition and Jewish religious practice. The annual celebration of Purim is based on the book, which actually calls for a celebration of the events portrayed (Esther 9:26-32).

The single most important event in Jewish history is their exodus from .?
From a historical perspective, the single most important event in Jewish history was the Babylonian Exile, but this, and the return from Exile, are not really an 'Exodus'.The story of the Exodus from Egypt was important in Jewish biblical tradition, but not in history. Nearly all scholars say there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, so the Exodus could not be important in a normal historical sense.
