CLASSES
We are excited to present our Tree of Life class as a course you can complete in your own time! Developed and taught in partnership with Rabbi Nadya Gross of Yerusha, this course grew out of her
Secrets My Grandmother Told Me:
Yerusha’s Signature Wisdom School
Encountering The Tree of Life
with Rabbi Nadya Gross & Kohenet D’vorah Grenn, Ph.D.
The Kabbalistic Tree of Life can be interpreted as both the map of how Creation came into being, and the Divine image in which all of Creation and Humankind are formed. This “do-at-your-own-pace” course introduces the Tree of Life as a blueprint for living, as interpreted through a female Kabbalist tradition.
Each section will focus on a different part of the Tree, and participants will experience the attributes and journey through recorded teachings, readings, embodied expression, and journaling/sketching.

Lilith’s Fire – Reclaiming our Sacred Lifeforce,
by Deborah (D’vorah) Grenn
In Lilith’s Fire, Grenn examines why and how modern women are still demonized-identified as “bad” for actions perceived as reasonable for men, through techniques used for thousands of years-and how women have started to reverse this tendency by redefining right and wrong. Demonization, she notes, has been effective: controlling, manipulating and dividing women to keep them powerless, pitting Lilith against Eve, “good girl” against “bad girl”; and as a means of keeping one group, religion or idea dominant over another.
