Sara Labaton: Living Between Purim and Pesach Post-October 7

April 10 @ 8:00 pm - 9:15 pm

In the 21st century, Jews in Israel and North America are both powerful and vulnerable, a duality that has only been made starker by the events of Oct. 7th and the subsequent war. While the contemporary expressions of Jewish power and vulnerability have particular and even unique features, Jewish traditions going back to the earliest canonical texts offer possible frameworks for navigating the challenges of this moment.

Join Sara Labaton to examine Purim and Pesach as case studies for how Jewish values and rituals can serve as guideposts as we re-interpret them considering unfolding events.
