Jewish holidays.

Sukkot

Harvest, and a hut with a roof you can see stars through

Decorate the sukkah, learn the symbols of the holiday, sing, hear stories and play games.

Hanukkah

The Maccabees, retold as a story about resistance

We tell it from a secular and social-justice view: struggle inside Jewish communities, and what resistance means now.

Purim

Esther and Vashti, and what a mask protects

Exile in Persia, two women who defied a king, and the masks, real and philosophical, that let people survive.

Passover

Not only the Exodus: every refusal since

A seyder of music, poetry and text about courage under oppression and the solidarity that outlasts it.

End-of-Year Potluck

The year ends the way it should, at a table

Families bring a dish, and the table ends up holding as many heritages as the room does.
