Devotion to the archetypal Divine Mother (“Wise Woman,” “Bride,” “Queen”) has always been a part of Jewish practice.
This course, open to all genders, offers an in-depth exploration of the enormous variety of Divine female imagery in the Torah, rabbinic literature, Jewish mystical text, and contemporary liturgy. Participants are invited to discuss and meditate on the meaning of these images, discovering their inherent potential for healing and transformation.
