Before Purim, community members were invited to explore the themes and scenes in Megillat Esther (the scroll of Esther) and then paint or draw their own visual depiction (whether figurative or abstract) of the theme or scene of their choice. The art was photographed and the images projected as a slideshow during the corresponding part of megillah reading on Purim, creating our community’s own live performance, “illuminated manuscript” megillah. We’ve turned this Illuminated Megillah into a Slideshare presentation for you to enjoy.
