Imagining Ourselves into Jewish Texts – Where Ancient Texts Intersect with Contemporary Life with Alicia Jo Rabins

What if you were Noah, and God told you the oceans were going to rise? Would you build an ark, or try to stop the flood? Award-winning musician, writer and Jewish educator Alicia Jo Rabins considers questions like these, creating art from the place where ancient Jewish texts intersect with contemporary life. Come enjoy songs, performance, and innovative Torah learning about some of Torah’s lesser-known characters and stories. Ancient Jewish texts come to life, re-imagined through a modern, personal lens which refracts the beauty and complexity of these ideas and considers how they relate to our lives today.
