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

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

    Virtual Event (Zoom)

    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.

  • A drawing of two children celebrating Purim together. The child on the left is dressed as royalty, while the child on the right is dressed as a jester.

    Join the CBI community and Rabbi Rachel in your favorite costume as we re-enact the Purim story, drown out the name of Haman, and rejoice in the “light and honor” the megillah promises will be our people’s future. We’ll participate in a spirited retelling of the megillah of Esther and wrap up the evening with homemade hamentaschen and other sweet treats!
