Three one-of-a-kind offerings, three doorways into Jewish meaning-making.
The House of Dinah Sapphic Torah Study
Where can queer women be hiding in the Torah? How does the presence of queer women change the meaning of the text? What hidden spiritual truths does accounting for queer women reveal?
For this interactive text study, we borrow the technology of Midrash to reclaim space for queer women in sacred text and discover meanings hidden within the Torah.
No prior experience or knowledge required.
The Horror of Holiness
What is fear of God (yirat Elohim) really about? Why is it framed as a good thing in Jewish tradition?
In this discussion series, we confront disturbing, gruesome, and terrifying encounters with the divine. Aided by modern horror media, we seek to better understand the nature of holiness by facing its more fearsome and dreadful aspects.
No prior experience or background required.
Purim Players
How can playing pretend be a sacred act? How can roleplaying games enrich our understanding of Jewish identity and culture?
By portraying colorful characters in fantastical situations, we boldly explore what it means to be Jewish: defining who is or could be a Jew (“Shalom, Earthlings!”), living authentically in a hostile world (“The Joneses”), and the godlike power of speech (“Word, Weal, and Woe”).
No prior roleplaying experience required.
