[Avodah] Mikveh l'zona

This 
is rather difficult to understand since she obviously couldn't tell 
Achashveros to stay away from her when she was a niddah.

Thanks for your reference to the Ohr Godol (from the Gadol of Minsk), he answers this by showing from A"Z 18a and Taanis 22a, that Goyim do not have relations during the flow, so Esther was able to keep Achasveirosh at bay during that time (she either had a 7 day flow or was able to convince him that she did).

As to your?point about Pshat in Rashi and to the main question whether there is Issur Niddus when being with a Goy, will BL"N get back to it when I have more time.

Kol Tuv,
Yitzchok Zirkind
