"In every generation, each person should see themselves as if they had been liberated from Egypt"
Join Rabbi Elizheva Hurvich in this four part class on Midrash. In every generation we have celebrated our liberation and its current implications and read the Biblical and post-Biblical readings of this essential and foundational narrative of the Creation of the Jewish people. In this class we will explore classical and contemporary midrash (stories, close readings, interpretations, folklore) on leaving Egypt and traveling through the desert, and we will also create our own Midrash. Each class will include time for meditation, reading, and writing. Bring a pen or workpad and get ready to let your imagination flow. You are welcome to bring original work or work in progress.
About Rabbi Elizheva Hurvich
Rabbi Elizheva Hurvich, recently ordained by ALEPH, the Alliance for Jewish Renewal has been a Jewish educator for many years - a true mistress of pedagogy, using holistic methodologies that allow students to personally confront, re-read, and integrate the Biblical story through one’s own spiritual/ aesthetic lens. She has recently served as a spiritual leader and teacher at Chochmat haLev and been a visiting Rabbinic presence at the Aquarian Minyan for several years. In 2022 Elizheva taught a very well received course on the Book of Esther.
