We will continue our exploration of the Imahot - our foremothers - exploring the lives of Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel. We will study Torah text, traditional and modern commentaries, and feminist midrash, asking what we can learn from their lives, and what it means to invoke them in our prayers. 

Class will meet on Sundays, 3-4:30 pm, on: 

March 8, 15, 29

April 5, 12

Suggested Donation: $54, for the 5-week session, payable directly to Gila
