Power plays and peril. Court intrigue and deception. Bravery and boldness.

The Megilla of Esther tells an unexpectedly contemporary story with a very colorful cast of characters.

Join us for a careful reading of the Megilla's text with Talmudic, Medrashic, Chassidic and contemporary commentary.

We'll find out WHO the key players are. WHAT drives each of them. And WHY it's vital that we know all of this today.

Class #1 The Persian King Achashverosh and Queen Vashti
Class #2 Mordechai the Jew and Queen Esther
Class #3 Haman and G-d

Your Purim celebration will never be the same.
