SUMMARY:Empty Chair at the Seder—A Pre-Pesah Bereavement Group
DESCRIPTION:The word seder means order and describes the 15 steps that we go through to reach the end of the Haggadah. However\, following the loss of a loved one\, the seder may feel like it has lost the sense of order that it once had\, as one is reorganizing one’s life to accommodate the new normal. \nAs we anticipate the arrival of Pesah\, a time steeped in tradition and togetherness\, feelings of grief and loss may be heightened as the memories of years past resurface. Join members of our community in drawing support and comfort from one another and our shared tradition. Facilitated by BJ Social Worker\, Jane Blumenstein\, LCSW\, this bereavement support group will meet virtually and is only open to current BJ members. \nRegister Now\nContact Jane with any questions.

SUMMARY:Reordering the Pesah Seder for Humanity
DESCRIPTION:When we observe so much of the brokenness in our world\, it’s hard to imagine that this is what humanity ordered. The first night of Pesah offers us Leil Seder—literally “the night of order”—to think about a restoration of society where everyone belongs and is valued. Join Rabbi Mike Moskowitz for an exploration of insights on this reordering that can inform our outlook on sustainable models of being. \nRegister Now\nRabbi Mike Moskowitz is the Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah\, the world’s largest LGBT synagogue. He is a deeply traditional and radically progressive advocate for trans rights and a vocal ally for LGBTQ inclusivity. Rabbi Moskowitz received three Ultra-Orthodox ordinations while learning in the Mir in Jerusalem and in Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood\, NJ. He is a David Hartman Center Fellow and the author of Textual Activism. His writings can be found on his website.

SUMMARY:Her Exodus: A Passover Exploration with Beit Toratah
DESCRIPTION:Starting with regendered moments from the haggadah\, Tamar Biala and Yael Kanarek will take us on a journey with the daughters of Tisraelah out of Metzerot. Come meet Moshah\, Par’ah\, and the hand of Tehovah. \nRegister Now\nTamar Biala has taught in various batei midrash\, rabbinical schools\, and adult education programs in the United States and Israel. At the Shalom Hartman Institute she trained teachers and IDF army officers. She is the co-editor of Dirshuni (Volume I) with Nehama Weingarten-Mintz and in 2018\, edited Volume II.

In her work\, she explores the role of language and narrative in forming a worldview. In 2016\, after a decade of Kabbalah studies in the tradition of Baal Hasulam and in response to the stunning void of canonical literature that codifies women’s experiences in the sacred\, she began rewriting the Torah by reversing the genders of all characters. In 2019\, Tamar Biala joined the initiative\, and in 2020\, they founded Beit Toratah. Yael Kanarek earned her MFA in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, NY.
