On March 20 at 12 pm, I will be giving a lecture at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, on “Esther in the Movies.” This class is based on the article I wrote for the book Esther in America a few years ago. We’ll look at the ways in which Hollywood has interpreted and misinterpreted Megillat Esther, particularly the way in which the movies tend to make it into a love story.
You can attend in person if you happen to be at the museum, or you can also attend online for free if interested. See here to register for online attendance: https://www.museumofthebible.org/events/lunch-learn-esther-in-the-movies.
