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.

FebFebruary 13 , 2025God is Here: Exploring Metaphors for the Divine
Thursday, Feb 13th 6:00p to 7:30p
Join Rabbis Debra Cantor and Rachel Zerin for a hands-on exploration of different metaphors for the Divine. These metaphors are all deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, while broadening the ways we think about, talk about, and relate to God and the idea of the Holy. Inspired by Rabbi Toba Spitzer's book "God is Here: Reimagining the Divine," we will use text study, discussion, writing, art, ritual, and more to think about how language and metaphor shape our experiences - and how language and metaphor can either limit or expand how we experience holiness in our lives.
