Purim for Adults: The Jewish Mardi Gras! March 24, 2011

Celebrate a wild and crazy Jewish holiday, with a stimulating evening of adult discussion, drinks, and dessert! No Jewish experience or knowledge is necessary. Gather at 7pm for a brief and boisterous telling of the Purim story by Vietnamese Jewish comedian, Joe Nguyen, then choose from among several exciting, interactive learning sessions:

* Persian Treats: A Cooking Demonstration, with Niloufar Yadegar
* Magic Behind the Mask: The Transformative Potential of Interfaith Relationships, with Dawn Kepler
* Hidden Holiness: Unmasking the Spiritual Teachings of Purim, with Rabbi Bridget Wynne
* Beyond the Mask, Beyond the Body: A Look at Gender From the Other Side, with Maggid Jhos Singer

After thought-provoking conversations we'll come back together to share sweets and schnapps tasting, plus schmoozing (chatting)!

All those 21 and over are welcome.
