In the Voice of Our Mothers: A New Way to Tell the Story of Passover
Lev Shalem Institute of the Woodstock Jewish Congregation
Woodstock, NY
Share this event:


This workshops meets on three consecutive Sundays: March 15, 22 and 29.

We all know that Moses is the hero of the Passover story. Less well known is that Moses is surrounded by powerful, courageous women who ensure his destiny: Shifra and Puah, the midwives who refuse to follow Pharaoh's orders to kill the Hebrews' newborn boys; Yocheved, Moses' mother, who has the courage to give birth in the face of certain danger, safely hides her baby, and then, with unimagined faith, floats him on the Nile; Miriam, who skillfully guarantees her baby brother Moses' survival; Pharaoh's daughter, who defies her father's order by adopting Moses and raising him as her own; and Tziporah, Moses' trusted wife, who rescues him from death as they return to Egypt to free the slaves.

Women make the Exodus story possible. Yet we barely hear their voices in the Torah. Such is the nature of our ancient text, but the absence of women's voices is a great loss for our tradition. Until now. We are fortunate to live in a time when, at long last, women's voices and experiences are being welcomed into the Jewish  and global  discourse. It is time to give voice to the feminine both in contemporary life and in the Torah, as we seek a sacred balance heretofore missing from our lives.

In this workshop we explore and inhabit the women of the story of Passover, imaginatively and creatively giving them voice, filling out their presence, and composing a new Haggadah that tells the inspiring tale of our liberation from slavery in the Voice of Our Mothers.

The "Voice of Our Mothers" Haggadah will debut at the Woodstock Jewish Congregation's Community Passover Seder, Saturday evening, April 4, 2015. We hope that workshop participants will attend the Seder and help present and perform the fruits of their creative work together!

Details: This program meets at the Woodstock Jewish Congregation on three Sundays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, March 15, 22, and 29. A delicious catered lunch is available for $20 each Sunday, and must be reserved and paid for in advance when you register  or bring your own dairy/vegetarian lunch. You are also encouraged to register and reserve your spot at the WJC Community Seder, Saturday evening April 4, 2015 at which the new Haggadah will be presented.
