Torah with Knives: A Creative Shavuot Experience (For Adults)
Thursday, May 21 – 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm PDT (In-Person)
Explore Torah in a way you may never have before. On Shavuot, as we remember receiving Torah at Mount Sinai, we step inside that moment through learning and creativity | With Rabbi Paul Kipnes and artist–rabbi team Isaac and Rabbi Shawna Brynjegard-Bialik, discover a beautiful midrash on receiving Torah. Then, with guidance and no experience needed, create your own interpretive papercut, a personal expression of Torah | No art background required. Just curiosity and a willingness to explore | We conclude before the Ark with a moving ritual, passing Torah from hand to hand, each of us receiving Torah again.
