Did our forefather Jacob live and die in the Land of Unlimited Opportunity? Were there paparazzi at his funeral? Did Sarah gain any comfort after thebinding of Isaac from the fur coat and hashish from Tarshish that Abrahambought her? Did he do that?  Yes, if you ask certain progressive Israeliauthors. We’re going to be inspired by them (translated to English) to do ourown writing that yanks biblical figures into the present day.  It’s a neattrick that lets the biblical stories become tools for commenting on our owntimes.  In this 6-session class, Rav Jeremy and Rabbi Polly will providesamples and prompts to inspire and get the creative juices flowing and you’llwrite (during class time, unless you feel like writing more) your own short stories/songs/poems/etc.to share and entertain and inspire one another.
