Encompassing learning, prayer and other innovative experiences, our Center represents the multiple spiritual dimensions of Jewish living and tradition. Our Center is a place to call home, inside and outside walls, because of the many different paths that inspire us to build community, with a Lev Shalem (a full heart).

Soul Sisters - a Feminist Beit Midrash
With Hazzan Joanna Dulkin Many of us have heard, told and retold the tales of our fearless matriarchs. The Torah is full of women—but not all of them are recognized to the same level as their male counterparts. What's up with that? In our ongoing study of Biblical women through a feminist sense, we explore the stories behind the stories, examining both ancient and modern midrashim (commentary and stories) to pull Biblical women out of the shadows of the text and center them in the narrative. Through engaging discussion and sharing from our own lives, we strive to more fully understand these Biblical women, and ourselves. All genders welcome. Class is on a hiatus. Check back for information on a 2024-25 limited series. |
