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

She also designed and taught courses and seminars on her rabbinical outlook, which integrates pluralist Judaism, critical feminism, and queer identity and worldview.
