SUMMARY:Kiddush Talk: Facing the Megillah with Judith Kates (in person afte
 r Shabbat morning services)
DESCRIPTION:For many years at TBZ\, we have gathered before Purim to learn 
 and prepare for the Megillah\, honoring it as a complex and layered text\,
  one that invites feminist readings and challenges us to reflect on the mo
 vement from victimhood to power. This shared learning has become a cherish
 ed tradition\, allowing us to engage deeply with the text before the holid
 ay itself\, when our focus turns more fully toward joy and celebration. Ju
 dith will lead us in a exploration entitled\, “Doing Better the Second T
 ime” where we will explore the gender issues as well as interconnections
 \, both narrative and linguistic\, with other Biblical texts such as the J
 oseph story and the story of Saul\, both ancestors of Esther and Mordechai
 .
