What can we discover if we read between the lines of the Torah? What were the people in the Torah thinking or feeling? What backstories were we never told? Dirshuni is a collection of Midrashim – imaginative interpretations of the Torah – written by modern Israeli women that answer these questions and more. We will read and discuss the texts together. All are welcome to join us for just one class or for the series. Thank you to Women’s Network for sponsoring this series.
Note: Evening minyan begins at 5:30 pm (and please join us if you can!). Class will begin at approximately 6:00pm.
