'Women in Torah' by Alicia Jo Rabins

You are invited to take individual classes instead of signing up for the entire course. Each class is free for Havurah members and $15 for non-members. Please email Havurah's office if you have questions.

Alicia Jo Rabins describes the course here: We will delve into the complicated lives of ten Biblical women through the lens of art and creativity. Using the power of art, writing and discussion to explore stories of women in Torah, we can experience these characters – from Eve to Yiftach’s Daughter – as companions in our own personal journeys. We will consider how their lives intersect with ours, and how their stories might inspire us in our own moments of struggle. Along the way we will get to know some under-studied women of Torah, and reveal new angles on famous characters.

This is the first full-length pilot course of the Girls in Trouble curriculum, created by Havurah member Alicia Jo Rabins around her critically acclaimed Girls in Trouble song cycle (indie-folk songs about women in Torah).

We'll focus on these women on the following days:

March 14 - Judith

March 28 - Sarah

April 4 - Bat Yiftach (Jepthah’s daughter)

April 18 - Eve

May 2 - Lillith

May 9 - Ruth

May 16 - Rachel & Leah

You don't have to sign up for the entire course to participate. If you'd like to take an individual class, just show up at 12:00 noon on the day of the class!

Mondays, Feb. 22 and 29; March 7, 14 and 28; April 4 and 18; May 2, 9, 16
