  • Why Don’t We Talk About Chapter 9? Pre-Purim Megillat Esther Discussion

    Pre-Purim Discussion: Why Don’t We Talk About Chapter Nine?

    Congregation Beth Israel 53 Lois Street, North Adams, MA, United States

    When 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. 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.
