Discover Your Story: A Three-Part Learning Journey for Jewish Women

Thursdays at 6:30pm

Feb 19, 26; Mar 5

$65.00

Description

Every hero’s journey begins with a call—and Jewish women have been answering that call for generations. In this uplifting three‑part course, we’ll explore the timeless Hero’s Journey archetype and explore how it shows up in Jewish text, tradition, and lived experience.

Together, we’ll explore the journey as a concept, a literary structure, and a helpful tool for making sense of our own experiences–with Torah offering examples for us to lean on. Each session blends rich Torah learning with personal reflection, empowering you to see your own life as a sacred narrative filled with meaning, growth, and purpose.
This class will be offered online on Thursdays from 6:30-7:45pm. Zoom link will be provided upon registration. If you would like to pay by check or have scholarship needs, please contact rabbilangowitz@womenlearning.org

  • Tuesday Morning Talmud: Women in the Talmud

    Tuesdays at 10am

    Jan 27; Feb 3, 10, 17, 24; Mar 3, 10, 17, 24, 31

    Taught by Rabbi Emily Langowitz

    The Talmud’s relationship to women is complex: sometimes gratifying, at times maddening, and always fascinating. Women’s lives are discussed in many ways across the tractates of the Talmud, but there are very few women who are actually named. This semester, we will continue our exploration of how women are portrayed in Talmud and what the lives of the six most prominent named women: Yalta, Homa, Marta, Heruta, Beruria, and Ima Shalom, can teach us, as women, about our lives today.

    Join us to see how, even thousands of years later, these ancient texts continue to have meaning in our 21st century lives. And don’t be afraid to bring your own experiences to the table! Each one of us has something to add to this age-old sacred dialogue. You do not need to have any prior experience in Talmud study to join us. You also need not have joined us last semester to enjoy the learning this spring!

    This class meets weekly from 10am-11am in person, with zoom options available. Location and zoom link provided upon registration.

  • After Abel and Other Stories: Biblical Women in Jewish Literature

    Mondays at 10am

    Jan 26; Feb 2, 9, 16, 23; Mar 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

    Taught by Rabbi Emily Langowitz

    In this class, we’ll explore the beautiful “modern midrash” of Michal Lemberger’s short story collection After Abel and Other Stories. Lemberger chooses nine different Biblical women whose stories are well known but whose narratives are sparse; this short story collection brings their voices to the forefront in a whole new way.

    Throughout the semester, we’ll read the original Biblical texts alongside their short stories, uncovering the many layers of meaning woven into each text. Lemberger’s work invites all of us, as women today, to uncover our own truths from within both the Biblical stories and her re-writings.

    This class meets weekly from 10am-11am in person, with zoom options available. Location and zoom link provided upon registration.
