You’re invited to join NIF
– New Generations\, J Street NYC – Young Professionals
Network\, and Congregation Beth Elohim’s Brooklyn Jews for a satiric
al Purim Spiel\, as we are transported back to the world of Ancient Persia
away from the sweetness of the Purim fairy tale we’ve come to know.
The holiday of Purim and its legend of Esther is not just for ki
ds. The Megillah reveals a complex and morally twisted parable for the Je
wish people\, fraught with sexual innuendo\, espionage\, and\, ultimately\
, genocide. This year\, New York and London-based theater puppeteer Randy
Ginsburg will present a shadow puppet performance of the Whole Megillah
\, unpacking the story's intricacies and moral dilemmas to bring the l
essons of this ancient tale to modern day Israel.
RSVP HERE!
When: Thursday\, February 21\, 7pm - 9pm
Where: The Ballroom at C
