VILLAGE SOCIAL: Brunch & Learn

Between Myth & Midrash – Monsters, Beasts & Bizarre Creatures in Jewish Scripture

From the depths of the sea to the edges of wilderness, Jewish scripture is filled with strange, powerful, and sometimes unsettling creatures. We’ll explore the monsters, beasts, and bizarre beings throughout the Bible, Midrash, rabbinic literature, and Jewish imagination. From Leviathan and Behemoth to lesser-known figures that blur the line between myth and meaning, we’ll examine what these creatures reveal about fear, chaos, divine power, and the human struggle to understand a complex world and why ancient images continue to fascinate and challenge us. Free to attend in the Katz JCC Boardroom, 501 North Jerome Avenue, Margate. A $5 donation is appreciated. RSVP by February 23.
