    A Creative Way to Move Into Passover

    Sat April 20 at 12:15 pm

    The Link Between the Song of Songs and the Spring Festival

    Immediately following Shabbat lunch for 90 minutes

    Led by Cantor Rachel Stock Spilker

    We will explore how and why the Song of Songs is connected to Passover. We will begin with a brief introduction to some traditional texts, break into chevrutah (learning pairs) for a deeper dive, spend time in creative process (could be writing, music, art, dance, or anything else you dream up!), then come back for reflections and sharing. You do not need to be an artist or have a particular artistic skill to participate. This session is about learning and process, not product.

    You can come for any part of Shabbat day: Torah study at 9:00 am, Shabbat service at 10:00 am, the vegetarian potluck lunch afterwards (approximately 11:30 am), and/or this creative text session.
