Stepping Up When It’s Hard
Purim HerTorah: Lessons from Esther for Us Today
Featuring Rabbi Katja Vehlow, Darshanit Dr. Miriam Udel, R’ Aliza Sperling, and more
In the Purim story, Esther doubts she has what it takes to save the Jewish people — until she decides to take action anyway.
What can we learn in our own time about stepping up in a time of peril, even when we don’t feel ready or qualified?
Join us as Rabbi Katja Vehlow mines the Megillah and commentaries and Darshanit Dr. Miriam Udel introduces us to irreverent midrashic Yiddish poetry to find the lessons that we need to draw on today… as we encounter a world that needs our voices, ready or not.
Join us? We need to hear from all our voices.
Between Purim and International Women’s Day… let’s lean on the women before us and around us to remind us that we all have something worth saying.
Tuesday, March 11th @ 8:15-9:45pm ET
