In celebration of Purim, Hillel will host Storahtelling, a New York-based theater group that gives traditional Jewish stories a modern twist. Actor Jonathan Adam Ross will give a one-man performance called Storah Telling: a Purim Story. Purim — a Jewish holiday — recounts the story of Esther, a biblical woman who risked her life to save her uncle Mordechai and the Hebrews of ancient Persia. Every year, Purim celebrations include dressing up, exchanging gifts and the retelling of the Megillah, or Esther’s story.
