“My task is not to debate whether I’m a Jew or not, but to figure out what kind of Jew I am. For me, finding a secular Jewish community with progressive politics fits my version of that identity.”
Gragger/Noisemaker! Our FIFTH Annual Radical Purim Party
Spontaneous Celebrations, 45 Danforth St, Jamaica Plain
**Music by Cirkestra, DJ Ross of Love, DJ FN aka Tante Yocheved, and DJ Annie R U Ok**
**Costume contest**
**Purim Shpiel**
**Cash bar**
Like an old-school mic check, the gragger is a Jewish noisemaker traditionally used to lift up our voices in the name of liberation and justice. This year, we will celebrate the ways that our communities create collective opportunities for living, from credit unions to CSAs and everything in between. So come – turn the world on its head and make some serious noise in a rowdy call for justice and joy!
Sliding scale $10 – 20
Co-sponsored by Moishe Kavod House and Keshet
