How do women of multiple Judaisms connect with God? There are cultural Jews, secular Jews, religious Jews, Jews by birth, Jews of color, Jews by choice, political Jews, Goddess Jews (sometimes called “Jewitches”), Jewish pagans and those who describe themselves as Jews who may not affiliate with any religious organization.

Explore the ways we imagine, construct and connect with God. What rituals, prayers or blessings hold the most meaning for us? Can we define what makes us feel Jewish? What traits give us our Jewish identity? What in our Jewish belief system or practices gives our lives the most meaning?

Readings will include excerpts from Dr. Grenn’s dissertation, “For She Is A Tree of Life: Shared Roots Connecting Women to Deity–an Organic Theological Inquiry Into Identities, Beliefs and Practices Among South African Lemba and European American Jewish Women.” Our other main text will be excerpts from Rabbi Rami Shapiro’s Judaism Without Tribalism: A Guide to Being a Blessing to All the Peoples of the Earth.

I loved starting off the year with this beautiful monthly event

I’ll be doing a drumming opening for their Wisdom Circle one Wednesday a month. Join us! The circle is different every time, but always intimate and nourishing.

We highly recommend this Wisdom School, in which Kabbalistic teachings transmitted through the motherline are passed down— and further animated by the students:

Wisdom School engages spiritual seekers across the gender spectrum and from any faith tradition. Participants experience personal growth by solidifying their connection to the collective. While new insights are transmitted as we continue to evolve, with new threads woven in with each generation, this ancient wisdom is ageless.
