Join My Jewish Learning and Rabbi Sara Brandes as we explore the Megillot – the biblical scrolls – that are chanted on Purim, Passover, Shavuot, Tisha B’Av, and Sukkot.

In this pre-Purim session, we’ll look at the power of satire to convey deep truth, and explore the meaning of an upside-down world in which God is hidden.
The biblical Book of Lamentations is chanted in a unique style, with each verse beginning in a major mode and ending in its relative minor mode.
Several Greek versions of the Purim story survive, along with the biblical text we read today.
