Purim for Grown-ups

Purim is so much more than a children’s carnival holiday. A close reading of the book of Esther and the comedic “Purim Torah” that has been created over the centuries reveals how a decidedly grown-up Purim can be celebrated.

Masquerade is key to Purim, so costumes or masks are encouraged. So are gifts of food and drink. Everybody who signs up will get the details about these after the final signup date.
