What does it mean to be made b’tzelem Elohim, in the image of the Divine? This class invites participants to explore our capacity for creativity as a reflection of the divine spark within each of us. Over three sessions, we’ll experience the media of creative writing, illustration, and music, framed by the ritual of counting the Omer. No experience necessary. This class is for anyone curious about creative expression as a way to connect with others and the sacred. All materials provided. Led by Rabbinic Intern Noah Lind.
