“Esther, Vashti, Feminism and Fate:

An Unlikely Transgressive Biblical Story”

St. Paul’s Cathedral

Women Together at St. Paul’s

Thursday, February 1st,  6-7:30pm

Speaker: Rabbi Lenore Bohm,

Director of Adult Jewish Education at the Jewish Community Center, La Jolla.

Rabbi Bohm will invite us to consider the ill-favored Vasti and sometimes-complicit Esther as feminist heroines in an important reflection on spiritual empowerment found in the the Book of Esther. She will also explain the celebration of the holiday of Purim, initiated

in the Book of Esther.
