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.”

I read the #Megillah twice today (Purim in #Jerusalem): Once for myself, and a second time for an elderly person. He asked for a #speed-reading, and I managed to squeeze it for him into 33 minutes.
My Rabbi says that his Rabbi, Avraham Genichovski Z"L, claimed the Megillah could be read in less than 18 minutes (I think he said 12 minutes). I said I can't understand how that'd be possible. My Rabbi said the melody is not mandatory, but I pointed out that proper punctuation is.
A kid approached me after Maariv for #Purim-gelt, and I asked him humorously if it's Yom Tov Sheini shel Galuyot. I explained to him it it was no longer #Purim and maybe next year.
As the song goes, Why can't Purim come twice a week?
