For over seventeen 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:
Creativity workshops for all ages in the style of the Jewish Studio Project
Jewish-themed Writing Workshops and Classes on Midrash (Stories about Stories in the Bible)
Reproductive Justice in Jewish Thought (for #ReproShabbat!)
The Feminine and the Feminist in the Book of Esther (for Purim!)
"The Rabbi in the Attic": Representations of Rabbis in Fiction and Film
Are You There, God? It's Me, Grandma: Interfaith and Intercultural Grandparenting in Children's Literature
Would the Rabbis Forgive Your Student Loans? Poverty and Tzedaka in the Jewish Tradition
Tevye's Youngest Daughter: The Untold Story of "Fiddler on the Roof"
The Woman of Valor: Who is She and What is She Doing at My Shabbat Table?
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!

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." |
