Rooted and Relevant: Reconstructing Judaism in 2019
I will be leading a worksop entitled, The Task of Being Ourselves. Here is the description:
Poetry can tell us a lot about who we are– our best selves, our worst selves. In that way it’s a lot like the Torah portion we read each week, or the stories that have been handed down to us along with the Torah. In this workshop we will look at a few poems by contemporary Jewish writers and discuss what makes them “Jewish” poems and, with even more chutzpah, what makes them Reconstructionist poems.
Then we will try writing some of our own poems and see what we can learn about ourselves.
Philadelphia
3:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.
Limited to conference participants. https://events.bizzabo.com/reconconvention2018/home Advance registration required.
