This year, our Women’s Pesach Celebration (formerly known as the “Women’s Seder”) will lean into our 50th Anniversary values, with special focus on Kehillah – Sacred Community. Together we will share wisdom, create art, and collaborate on how we can be in sacred community through turbulent moments. All who identify as women or non-binary (B’nai Mitzvah age and older) are welcome.
Abby will be our spiritual guide for the afternoon, helping us connect with our traditions and our community. Abby has 25 years of prayer leading experience, including with the notable Jewish musicians and prayer leaders Joey Weisenberg and Josh Warschawski. She has mastery of numerous nuschaot and trope, as well as experience as a Bar and Bat Mitzvah preparation tutor. For six years, she was the director of the Rosenbloom Religious School at Chizuk Amuno before she opted to pursue an advanced degree in social work and a career as a therapist.
Rachel will lead us in a glass etching seder plate project. Rachel is a full-time scribe, bookbinder, designer, and artist. She received a BA in Visual Art and Humanities at the University of Chicago, completed a certificate in bookbinding at the North Bennet Street School in Boston, spent two years studying Talmud at the Migdal Oz seminary and silk screening at the Jerusalem Print Workshop.

What might the practice and values of Jewish scribal arts (sofrut) teach us about living our most engaged and meaningful lives?
Join Boston-based Torah scribe and artist, Rachel Jackson, for a text study and discussion about her work, and how the Jewish laws of scribing might teach us something more about ourselves, our community, and our world.
A light breakfast will be provided. This event is free and all are welcome! Please register here.
