Do you ever find yourself identifying more with Jonathan’s quiet sacrifice than David’s victory? Do you wonder whether Leah could truly comfort Dinah, or how you feel about Sarah’s choices? Torah characters carry deep emotional stories—and you may find pieces of yourself reflected in them.
In this introductory session, you’ll explore your own reactions to select women and men of the Torah. We’ll ask: Where do their stories meet yours? How do their struggles echo the ones you face today?
Using Torah texts as creative sparks, you’ll be invited to write directly to a biblical character—responding to their dilemmas, imagining conversations, and drawing meaningful analogies to your own life. What would you say to Esau about forgiveness? How might it feel to step into Jochebed’s courage as she places baby Moses into the reeds?
