PURIM WORK BEGINS


Purim Launch Farbrengen  
Sunday Jan 27 noon (food schmooze) 1-6 program
This is the beginning of the community knowledge-sharing and design process.

Our Purimspiel is March 30th, and the Farbrengen is the start of an intense community process of carnival creation. We will learn together from honored guest scholars, organizers and artists. There will be food and music.

Come and hear the brilliance of 
Michael Manswell and Sandra Bell artistic directors of Something Positive Dance Theater, and some next generation colleagues from Pagwah Mas, a leading cultural force in Brooklyn’s Carnival J'ourvert, will reflect on the work of Claudia Jones (1915-1964) a pioneering Afro Caribbean radical intellectual, the politics of carnival, and the current context of Brooklyn’s Jouvert.

Sneak Preview Torah study session by the People’s Beis Midrash/ Jewish Currents on the theme of “Antisemitism & Capitalism. ” “The People’s Beis Midrash format is inspired by the Jewish studyhouse culture of intensive partnered study of complex texts supported by expert teachers. Our teachers will be teachers and scholars from across many fields of Jewish and leftist expertise.”

Arielle Korman shares songs and and liturgy she’s written for Jewish Women of Color Marching as well as cultural work she’s doing with Ugnayan on Hate Free Zones and No Amazon NYC.

We will begin to gather at 12. The program begins at 1pm.
