About Motke
Motke, the Yiddish diminutive of Mordecai, originates from the Hebrew word "Marduk" or "Mordŏḵáy" meaning "little man" or "worshipper of Mars".
This name holds significant biblical significance, as it was the name of both a cousin and adoptive father of Queen Esther, and the name of a Jew who returned from exile with Zerubbabel. Mordecai's role in saving the Jewish people from the destruction plotted by Haman led to the establishment of the feast of Purim.
