SUMMARY:Pre-Purim Discussion: Why Don’t We Talk About Chapter Nine? | Zoom Only
DESCRIPTION:☆ To join us ONLINE\, please CLICK HERE to register via Zoom \n\nWhen we think of Purim we may think of Esther and Mordechai\, court intrigue\, and graggers drowning out the name of the wicked Haman. But most liberal communities (including ours) rarely read or retell the penultimate chapter of the megillah\, often described as the revenge fantasy of an oppressed people\, in which the Jews of Persia take up arms. Join Rabbi Rachel for a text study of that final chapter alongside some of our tradition’s commentaries as we delve into the deep spiritual question of what this text can teach us and how we choose to relate to it today. \n☆ This online discussion is designed for adults — all ages will be welcome at our Purimspiel & Party on Monday\, March 2.
