Join Rabbi Rachel and members of the CBI community as we creatively "respond" to Torah through art! All are welcome to attend — you do not need to be fluent in Hebrew, a Torah scholar, or an "artist" in order to participate!
Our next meeting of the CBI Book Club, facilitated by Dr. Suzanne Levy Graver, Professor Emerita at Williams College, will take place over Zoom on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:30pm (EDT).
