of Merry-Making

Yet the themes and issues raised in the Scroll of Esther are amongst the most serious and challenging that contemporary Jews face. Join Rabbi Carnie Rose for a fascinating exploration of these deep, existential and often overlooked lessons of Purim. All are welcome and no previous experience necessary.
