The oratorio bubbles with excitement.
–Allan Altman, American Record Guide
This performance proclaims that Ester slumbers in darkness no longer.
–Joseph Newsome, Voix des Arts
A musical recovery, that of this forgotten oratorio, shamelessly extroverted and of great communicative relevance.
–Marçal Borotau, Sonograma
In celebration of the critically-praised Navona Records release of the first and only complete recording of Ester, Liberatrice Del Popolo Ebreo ("Esther, Liberator of the Jewish People") by Alessandro Stradella (1639–1682), members of the original cast reunite for a special performance of this 1673 masterwork in honor of the Purim holiday.
Exploring themes of courage, self-acceptance, ambition, justice, and power, Stradella’s Ester tells the story of a timid girl, secret Jew, and Persian Queen who summons the bravery to save her people from annihilation. While the oratorio, a large-scale musical narrative, derives its plot from the biblical story of The Book of Esther, modern audiences will surely find resonance and relevance in the journey of a lone woman who triumphs over tyranny.
Originally intended to be played in a Baroque palace for an aristocratic Catholic audience, this bracingly innovative work composed by a volatile genius was largely lost to time before its recent rediscovery and revival. Join us on Sunday, March 8th at 3pm as Stradella’s Ester resounds again in the Museum at Eldridge Street's magnificently restored 1887 Main Sanctuary.
Musicians:
Ester: Jessica Gould, soprano

An immersive Purim party of masks, music, and mischief—where Esther’s story comes alive all around you.
PURIM AT IDEAL GLASS: ESTHER’S MIX is an immersive Purim party inspired by the Book of Esther—reimagined as a decadent, playful world of masks, music, performance, and surprise.
Guests are invited to move freely through the space as the story of Esther unfolds around them. Rather than a traditional seated show, this is a living party: performers roam, scenes emerge and dissolve, and the audience becomes part of the celebration. Expect moments of spectacle, mischief, and intimacy—where joy, secrecy, resistance, and revelation blur together.
✨ What to Expect

There is simply nothing like PolyEsther; just ask any of the 800 guests from last year's sold-out party. This year we are going queerer, kookier, & kinkier. That means we are partnering with House of Yes in Brooklyn to throw the largest and most epic Queer Purim Party for All.
Come through the looking glass and experience two huge dance floors, immersive performances in every corner, and a Purim wonderland where you definitely won't be able to tell the difference between Esther and Mordechai! Craving a Bris Station / Circumcision Salad bar? We got you. How about a Drag Shtreimel Petting Zoo? We got that. Crazy costumes are advised, but there will be makeup and masquerade corners for last minute makeovers. Of course, for anyone too uptight, there will be plenty of poppers.
Purim is the ancient Jewish holiday where getting drunk, high, and silly is the main commandment. This year it falls on a Monday night, which means you might want to already call in late for work on Tuesday. Tuesdays come every week, Purim is once a year. Don't miss out.

Presented by 14Y Selah in partnership with the Riverdale Y, Congregation Tehillah, Conservative Synagogue Adath Israel of Riverdale, Hebrew Institute of Riverdale-The Bayit, the Kehilah of Riverdale, Riverdale Temple, YCT Rabbinical School, Yeshivat Maharat, with support from UJA-Federation of New York.
In Parashat Shemot, the story of Exodus begins not with grand miracles but with small acts of noticing — the midwives who protect life, the daughter of Pharaoh who draws Moshe from the water, and a young man who pauses to look at a burning bush and truly see.
Transformation, Torah teaches, begins when we open our eyes to what has been hidden — the pain we’ve ignored, the potential we’ve forgotten, the holiness already present in our lives.
At 14Y Selah, this parasha speaks to the heart of recovery and awakening. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen, when we speak what has been unspoken, and when we stand with those still in the shadows. Like the midwives and Moshe, we too can be part of a story that turns pain into possibility.
This Shabbat, we gather to honor the courage it takes to begin again — to be seen, to see each other, and to believe that liberation starts right where we are. Join us for an evening of song, nourishment, and connection, followed by an immersive Saturday retreat of reflection and renewal.
