SUMMARY:Reading the Book of Esther as Literature
DESCRIPTION:They say history doesn’t repeat itself\, but it often rhymes. As we approach Purim\, join Rabbi Lizzi for a fresh reading of the Book of Esther\, not as history\, but as satire\, social commentary\, and timeless reflection on power\, identity\, and survival. Together\, we’ll explore how this ancient story captures the anxieties and dreams of Jews living in diaspora\, and discuss how this story mirrors our modern world — a source of both inspiration and caution for the moment we live in now. \nThis is a three-part class that meets in the morning on the following dates: February 12th\, February 19th\, February 26th. This program costs $36/attendee for general admission and $18/attendee for Builders. \nRegister
