Mirah and Mordecai embrace one another. Mordecai has his hand on Mirah’s head as she looks up at her dear brother. The two have been reunited after being separated by their father for many painful years. Their reunion represents their emotional connection and shared Jewish heritage, solidifying their spiritual connection and love for one another (Book 6, Chapter 47).
