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."

For over sixteen years, I have been teaching and learning with students of all ages. Together, we take new approaches to Jewish texts and traditions, and explore the intersection of Judaism and creativity. Some of my favorite talks have included: 

Reproductive Justice in Jewish Thought

Would the Rabbis Forgive Your Student Loans? Poverty and Tzedaka in the Jewish Tradition
Reading Midrash, Writing Midrash: Stories about Stories in the Bible
"The Rabbi in the Attic": Representations of Rabbis in Fiction and Film
Tevye's Youngest Daughter: The Untold Story of "Fiddler on the Roof"
The Feminine and the Feminist in the Book of Esther
The Woman of Valor: Who is She and What is She Doing at My Shabbat Table?

Creativity workshops in the style of the Jewish Studio Project
Courses from Pardes' Mahloket Matters: How to Disagree Constructively
And more topics related to Bible, Prayer, Midrash, and Modern Jewish Fiction and Children's Literature!

I'd love to join your community for an adult learning class, a day at your Religious School or summer camp, or a weekend Shabbaton!​​
