Take a close look at the megillah: in this wine-soaked story, it’s the sober people making all the bravest, wildest, world-altering decisions. Let’s gather to get hyped for a wild night of profound spiritual transcendence—no substances necessary. This is a holiday of flipping things around: rather than discussing how to cope with a holiday known for drunken debauchery, let’s dream and scheme about putting our sober selves right at the center of the celebration. Rabbi Zack Wiener will bring some Jewish texts that set the precedent for a wild sober psycho-spiritual experience of Purim partying. All who want to un-substance for Purim—for any reason!—are invited to attend.
