I have heard many times over the years that Mordechai was esther’s Uncle. Yet it says in the Megillah itself that Mordechai was esther’s cousin! (Esther 2:7) Does anyone know of any sources that say that Mordechai was esther’s uncle?

  • This has been discussed already ,Ibn Ezra,but most hold they were cousins ,in fact when Rav Dovid Feinstein discusses their relationship he says cousins – sam Mar 13 '19 at 17:43
