Carmel, CA. Her work is focused on restoring the Shekhinah to contemporary Jewish

a special Shabbat Service that will focus on the healing energy and humor of the Shekhinah
as we approach Purim.
Sunday, February 28 from 2:00-5:00 pm at Phoenix Friends, 1702 E. Glendale, Phoenix
A Feminist Perspective on the Torah at Rabbi Ayla's.
- Hidden and Revealed: From Shushan to Scottsdale - A pre-Purim workshop/playshop with
Rabbi Leah Novick for exploring our personal patterns of relating to our Judaism using the
archetypes from the Purim story as a starting point. We will study some of the Midrash
that illuminates the central characters and focus on the connection to our contemporary
challenges. For example: Why does Esther marry the non-Jewish guy? Do our communities
recognize saintly leadership? Would we heed Queen Esther's call to fast for three days?
Why did Ahaseurus trip over his own sex life? Is there a message for Washington here? Who
are Mordecai and Haman in your life? Do we believe that Jews will always be the victims?
How do we relate to being the aggressors?
Members $12.00 Non-Members $18.00 R.S.V.P.
