An Invitation…

…To Women Far and Wide
to Participate in a Ground-Breaking, Soul-Awakening Event:
The 32st Annual “Purim High Council Prayer and Meditation Happening for Women
(that, for the third time, will be available to the world, via Zoom)

Shushan Purim is on Tuesday night/Wednesday this year. We are planning to have the usual Open House, Potluck, Dance & Learn Purim Party for Women and from 6-7:30 conduct a Purim High Council Ceremony that will be broadcast on zoom this year as well, though people are also still JOYFULLY invited to participate in person, here, in the Old City. Details will follow.

Everyone’s invited…near and far. The problem is that we, in Jerusalem, observe Purim on a different day than everyone else. Jerusalem Purim (aka Shushan Purim) is one day later than the rest of the world.

So Malka Sima Pais and Chana Vered Coren are making it as easy as possible for you all to make a Purim High Council in your community, with your friendship circle, on your actual Purim. We are making the script available and Malka Sima is teaching classes to make the underlying principles of the High Council familiar to all who are interested.

Each class will give an overview of the High Council, yet will focus on different aspects of the spiritual practices. There will be time set aside at the end for a Q&A about how to join or host a Purim High Council in your community.
Part 1- focusing on Ratzo and Shov:  Meditation and Integration
          Tuesday, February 14th  
          10:30am EST,  17:30 Israel

Part 2- focusing on Chash and Mal: A Paradoxical Prayer Stance
          Tuesday, February 21st  (Rosh Chodesh Adar in Israel 🙂
          12pm EST, 19:00 Israel

Part 3- Manifesting the Lights of Purim
          Tuesday, February 26th  
          10:30am EST,  17:30 Israel

And then, for whomever wants to participate in the Old City High Council or its Zoom broadcast, the plan is to start the High Council on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at twilight:
6:00 PM Jerusalem | 11:00 AM EST | 8:00 AM PST | 4:00 PM UK | 3:00 AM Sydney

Also, just to clarify, that the High Council takes place within a larger Purim Party of dancing, learning and inebriating that generally goes through the wee hours. This year it will start around 3 PM and close around 2 AM, with the High Council happening around twilight. You are invited to both events. Details will follow.

It is a custom outside Israel to acknowledge Shushan Purim as a special day, so it is fitting for folks around the world to join our Purim High Council Ceremony and participate fully. It is simply a Prayer-Meditation Happening that could (theoretically) be performed any day, its just that Purim (i.e., Esther’s day) is the most propitious time for its enactment.

The plan is to start the High Council on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at:

6:00 PM Jerusalem | 11:00 AM EDT | 8:00 AM PDT | 10:00 PM UK | 3:00 AM Sydney

Also, just to clarify, that the High Council takes place within a larger Purim Party of dancing, learning and inebriating that generally goes through the wee hours but this year will start around 3 PM Wednesday (March 8) and close around midnight or so. You are invited to both. Details will follow.

SPREAD THE WORD! PASS THIS INVITE ON TO ANY WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED. THE MORE SOULS THAT PARTICIPATE, THE BIGGER THE CIRCLE, THE MORE LIGHT PULLED DOWN, THE MORE AWAKENING OCCURS.
