On Shabbat morning, we will only be hours away from the Eve of Purim. To get us into the festive mood, we will be studying the Megilah of Esther rather than the Torah portion of the week. I know what you're thinking....the Rabbi is just looking for an excuse to avoid another week on Leviticus...and....you're RIGHT!! Instead, let's read a story of a woman who refuses to dance for her drunken husband, a comic king, a dastardly villain, and a couple of Diaspora superJews!
Please note: We will be making photocopies of the text for everyone. However, I don't want to waste too much paper, so folks will have to share. If you happen to have your own copy of an English translation of the Tanach (Hebrew Bible), please bring it with you.
And, don't forget to plan to attend our Adult Purim celebration and shpiel on Saturday night. Hard and soft drinks and savory hamentaschen start at 7pm, the shpiel (featuring many of our Scroller friends) begins at 8:15pm.
