Expand your Purim celebrations with the arts! In the age of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 – 1669), the biblical Book of Esther was a key source of inspiration for diverse communities in Holland, both Jewish and Christian. For immigrant Jewish communities living with new freedom in more tolerant Amsterdam, celebrating Purim—notably through finely produced Esther scrolls and theater productions—became meaningful expressions of Jewish culture. For the Dutch, Queen Esther’s heroism represented their emerging nation’s identity.
CRS Outings is made possible by generous support from Marcia and David Lavipour, and Maxine Schweitzer.
