The Serious Problem of a Silly King

The Jewish holiday of Purim, which has a Carnival like atmosphere, falls this week beginning Thursday evening. The holiday centers around retelling the Book of Esther – a memorable story that is both serious and silly – where fate and freedom hang in the balance. Let us explore the themes of this holiday and how it might shed light for our vision of finding a way forward in these times.
