This week we talk about books! We’ve come up with a list of ten books with Jewish themes, Jewish authors, and a variety of genres. Some of these we’ve read and some we haven’t, but we’re excited about them all. We hope you’ll be, too!

Taking Time
This week we read about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years in B’har-Bechukotai. Join us as we talk about the importance of rest and taking time for yourself!
Making Room for Everyone
This week we explore Leviticus with parshat Emor. Every now and then you may come across a troubling text, and this was one of those for us. Join us as we unpack the section of Emor that troubled us the most.

How can we make sure we are the best allies and advocates we can be? This week Acharei Mot-Kedoshim helps us answer that question.

As we read parshat Tazria-Metzorah, we draw on the wisdom shared by other Torah scholars and learn about the effects of illness on the whole community.
Never Again Must Mean Never Again
Today is Yom Hashoah – the day we remember the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Now more than ever, it is important to dedicate ourselves to educating others so that “Never Again” actually happens.
Miriam’s Mixtape
As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we’re honoring some important biblical Jewish women. To honor these strong women, we created a playlist full of songs that help us feel like the strong and independent women we are.
