In this creative writing workshop with Lilith magazine, join writer and theologian Rabbi @juliawattsbelser to explore how disability wisdom can help us tap into the subversive spiritual power of Shabbat—and disentangle our worth from our work. Drawing on her article in the latest issue of Lilith, Julia will share creative prompts to spark our imagination and invite us to craft our own micro practices for finding rest and respite in these days. All are welcome.
When: Friday, May 17, 12-1 pm Eastern
Where: Zoom!

She`s wearing a patterned red blazer and red kippah (beret) to match.

Isaac Bashevis Singer is the one author by whom thousands of people the world over will measure both Yiddish literature and Jewish culture.
