CHAI Seniors presents Purim: a radical story of courage, deceit, and reveal with Rabbi Efrat Rotem.
Purim tells a tale that seems very straight forward but it takes us deep into questions of identity and self-discovery. It also tells a story of the dance between the minority and the majority. Such a smart soap opera has always more layers to expose.
Lunch will be served, Cost of this event is $5.00
