Dear Lab/Shul

Saturday night’s PurimMESSther was truly a prophetic celebration of a reimagined future. In a year marked with loss, heartache and divide, more than 400 of you joined us in the mess, and in rising to meet this moment.

We are deeply grateful to our cast of brilliant artists and ritualists! And much gratitude to our beloved friends and partners at Flaminggg – NY’s queer Jewish party host – and 3 Dollar Bill for the delicious venue for our program.
