Network\, and Congregation Beth Elohim’s Brooklyn Jews for a satiric
al Purim Spiel\, as we are transported back to the world of Ancient Persia

wish people\, fraught with sexual innuendo\, espionage\, and\, ultimately\
, genocide. This year\, New York and London-based theater puppeteer Randy
Ginsburg will present a shadow puppet performance of the Whole Megillah
\, unpacking the story's intricacies and moral dilemmas to bring the l
essons of this ancient tale to modern day Israel.
