Just had an extraordinary weekend with Rabbi Leah Berkowitz as our scholar-in-residence. She shared her passion for midrash with learners of all ages, with sessions for adults Friday night, Shabbat morning, and at Havdalah, and with kids this morning. The adults kept coming back, and we sold out of her books...And our folks had a great time getting to know her informally. I highly recommend her as a scholar-in-residence!" Rabbi Leah Berkowitz has been one of the leaders of the Women's Spirituality Group at Temple Sholom in Broomall, Pennsylvania, for many years. Her creative ideas and topics expand and enrich our views of women's issues in Judaism. Our comments and insights are encouraged and welcomed in our sessions with Rabbi Berkowitz. She weaves them into new insights for all of us to develop further. Our thanks for her hard work and dedication to our group." Rabbi Berkowitz has an easy and natural way with children, and her connection with them was palpable. I think the third through sixth graders would have happily stayed in the sanctuary asking questions and engaging with her all day if we had let them. I love how inspiring she was regarding writing, and that she left them all with so much to think about. Thank you for giving so much of yourself and for providing such an enriching program for our kids." |
For over fifteen years, I have been teaching and learning with students of all ages. Together, we take new approaches to traditional subjects like Bible, Rabbinic Literature, Liturgy and Jewish Practice. I guide students through an exploration the intersection of Judaism and Creativity in prayer, in midrash, and in modern literature. Contact me to bring one or more of the sessions below to your community for a Shabbat!
