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.

SUMMARY:Community Chanukah Concert 5786
DESCRIPTION:Join the CBI choir and musicians for a celebration of the Festival of Lights with music both old and new! As the days wind down toward the winter solstice and the longest night of the year\, Chanukah comes to remind us to take heart and seek the light of hope shining in dark times. Musical selections will include traditional Ashkenazi and Sephardi Chanukah songs as well as contemporary compositions. We’ll close with a family-friendly singalong featuring some favorite Chanukah tunes. \nAfter the concert\, we’ll segue into potluck refreshments\, dreidels and gelt\, and kid-friendly Chanukah arts and crafts. Please bring a contribution for the potluck table; the meal will be dairy / vegetarian / pescatarian\, so no meat please. In addition to RSVPing\, please visit the potluck sign-up page and let us know what you will bring — this will help us assure balance in our potluck offerings so there is something for everyone. \nOur Jewish Journeys students are currently collecting pasta donations for the Berkshire Food Project\, so please bring an unopened box of pasta with you to contribute to our cause. \nAll ages and faiths are welcome to attend this free community event! \nFunding to help support this event has been provided by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation.
