Unmasking Purim -Rabbi Lori Levine
The Purim story is a story of wearing masks, name changes, and hidden secrets. The Megillah, the Scroll of Esther, requires all of us to read between the lines.

We will also make connections to our own lives by sharing stories of the masks we wear, revealing the unknown, and the central importance of our own true identities.
