Vashti’s Banquet
Monday, March 23, 2026, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Location: Adath Israel Lerner.Fisher Hall
Adath Israel Sisterhood welcomes all women in our Jewish community to Vashti’s Banquet. We will come together for Persian inspired
dairy dinner, catered by Mikey Frank.
The theme of the event is celebrating Jewish women through the ages. There will be a looping video with over 30 biblical and historic female figures that made an impact on their world and ours.
We will explore specifically feminine head coverings as Rabbi Jessica Shafrin introduces “Reclaiming Ritual, Women and Headcovering”. We will then have an opportunity to discuss this ritual, or get creative and paint Miriam’s Cups for our Sederim, or just hang out with new friends and old.
The program will close when we all come together in song, led by Rebecca Axelrod, Ritual Director of Adath Israel.
