Megillat Esther: The Most Modern and Important Book of the Bible
With
Rabbi Jeffrey Segelman
Date
From
7:00 PM
To
8:00 PM
3 weekly sessions starting on February 9 @ 7:00 PM.
The Megillah has far greater meaning than the story we learned as children. In this three week course, we explore in depth the deeper and often hidden aspects of the text. In doing so, we may come to realize that no book of the Bible better speaks to the spiritual and political realities of our lives today.
