Beseda: COJECO Jewish Intellectual Circle Presents: PURIM UNMASKED

Thursday, February 27th, 6:30-8:30PM

Dive into the intellectual atmosphere of paradoxes, controversies, and debates at the BESEDA: COJECO Jewish Intellectual Club. With wine and cheese reception.

Explore the hidden history and current political purpose of the most misunderstood Jewish holiday with the acclaimed Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie.

Purim and its featured Scroll of Esther are often understood as a fantasy of Jewish power composed when Jews had none. But today, it is a different story, and it requires wrestling with the text and traditions to walk our talk of justice, patriotism, and moral responsibility to make new meanings of this holiday for our fast changing times. Yes, even those triangle pastries are not what you thought.
