The class is available in person and on Zoom.
Rabbi Leiah sends out the readings to people on our mailing list prior to the class. Please contact the Temple Office or click on the Subscribe button above to receive the readings.

Join us for this exciting, new writing workshop where Rabbi Rachel Esserman will guide you in the creation of your own variation of stories found in the Bible.
​
Each class will include discussions and opportunities to write and share (or not) your own imaginative perspective of a familiar biblical text.
There is no cost to attend, and new members are always welcome! Be sure to bring a notebook or writing paper with you. Those attending are asked to contact Rabbi Rachel Esserman in advance at resserman@yahoo.com so we can prepare enough copies of materials.
No previous writing experience or familiarity with the biblical text is necessary.
