What is Esther's pass?

• A. What wilt thou?
• B. Believest thou this?
• C. Who is this?
• D. Alas, my daughter

Answer: (A)

Esther's pass is the exact line used in the Esther portion of the rite as the cue or password for that character. In the biblical scene, the king asks Esther, “What wilt thou?” signaling that she may state her petition. This short question is the line associated with Esther in the ritual, making it the correct pass. The other phrases come from different moments and figures in scripture, so they don’t fit Esther’s moment in the ceremony.
