Purim for Grown Ups
No RSVP needed.

“And these days of Purim shall never cease among the Jews, and the memory of them shall never perish among their descendants.” (Esther 9:28) In Jewish mystical thought, only two holidays will be celebrated in the world to come: Purim and Yom Kippur. And the reason Yom Kippur is included in the list is because it is a “day” (yom) “like” (k’) “Purim” (pur). Given how seriously we take Yom Kippur, it stands to reason that – as adults – we should pay just a bit more attention to Purim.

In this set of classes, we will take a deep dive into the text of Esther, the observances of Purim, so that when the holiday falls upon us (may it be for a blessing) we can truly enjoy our libations.
