In Temple Micah’s lay-led Hebrew poetry group, we read the poetry of Yehuda Amichai and other modern Israeli poets in Hebrew, then translate and discuss in English. We discuss how these poets’ use of biblical, liturgical, and contemporary Hebrew is accessible and insightful on many levels to those with even limited Hebrew knowledge.
To get involved, contact Hebrew Poetry.
With Israel on our minds and hearts, we invite you to deep dive into wider cultural, historical, and aesthetic contexts of the region through the medium of contemporary narrative film. Led by Rabbi Slakman, the selected films will uplift directors with diverse identities, and realities that span political, social, and religious spectrums. Titles will be released at the beginning of each month and a discussion will take place from 7:15 – 8:00 p.m. over Zoom on the final Thursday of the month (except when otherwise noted) to raise questions, reactions, and reflections in community. View upcoming gatherings.
The Zoom link will be provided in our weekly emails. Not on our list? Sign up for our Friends of Temple Micah newsletter.
