Two Part Series--Come to One or Both
Part One (Feb. 3, 7:30-8:45pm)
The Whole Megillah
The Megillah in the Context of the Bible
What is the “backstory” of the Book of Esther? Its historical context?
How does the Book of Esther both fulfill and subvert other biblical traditions?
Is it history, melodrama, satire, the first Jewish novel maybe?
This is your opportunity to read the Whole Megillah and understand it like you never learned in Hebrew School!
All are welcome and refreshments will be served. This lecture is free.
The second part will be on Feb 24, please check this or the synagogue web site (www.shalompcs.com)
