#megillah — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Welcome to the topsy-turvy season in the Tewish ;) calendar. This is a time when we reexamine power dynamics between women & men, the rich & poor, non-Jews & the Jewish people. How do these dynamics shift when the traditional scroll undergoes a genderbend?

In this session, we will collectively engage in the reading of the scroll of Mordekhai & explore the alternative world it presents.

Join us as we reflect on Queen Akhashveroshni’s quest for a new virgin lad to ascend to the throne; ponder the relationship between the young virgin lad, Mordekhai, and his aunt Esther, who escorts him to the queen’s fortress; delve into the tensions between Esther & the High Minister Hamani; and contemplate the resilience of the Tehudiyot who defend themselves and retaliate.

I recall that you #complained last year, and as a result of your #complaints we cancelled our #school’s #annual #megillah #reading, even though it was a highlight of the Adar #HolidaySeason, and even though we received negative media attention as “the school that cancelled Purim.”
