SUMMARY:Drawing from Torah: A Generative Jewish Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 15th\, 2026 \n12-1:30 p.m. EST \n \n\nHow do poets weave Jewish imagery\, Torah stories\, and sacred language into their work in ways that feel alive and authentic? And how might you do the same in your own poetry?\n \nThis generative poetry workshop invites you to explore Jewish themes through reading\, writing\, and conversation. Together\, we’ll read poems by writers such as John Keats\, Sharon Olds\, Dan Pagis\, Yehoshua November\, Marie Howe\, and Lucille Clifton—poets who draw on the Hebrew Bible and other Jewish texts to shape their work. We’ll look closely at how these writers transform ancient stories and symbols into powerful\, contemporary poems.\n \nYou’ll be guided through writing prompts inspired by these texts and poems\, with a special focus on moments from the Torah that spark imagination\, memory\, and meaning. During the session\, you’ll have time to write\, share your work (as you feel comfortable)\, and receive thoughtful\, supportive feedback.\n \nThis workshop is open to anyone interested in reading and writing poetry with Jewish themes—whether you’re an experienced poet or just beginning\, and whether your connection to Jewish texts is deep\, curious\, or newly forming.\n\n \nThis session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nDr. Eve Grubin is the author of the book of poems Boat of Letters (Four Way Books). She is also the author of Morning Prayer (Sheep Meadow Press)\, The House of Our First Loving (Rack Press) and Grief Dialogue (Rack Press). Eve holds a PhD on the poetics of reticence\, and she is a lecturer at NYU London and a tutor at the Poetry School.\n

SUMMARY:Purim & the Poetry of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 26\, 2026\n8-9:30 p.m. EST\n$18\n \n\nWhether Purim is your favorite\, somewhat problematic holiday or the source of some of your least favorite rabbinic takes\, this generative poetry workshop invites you to unpack\, reclaim\, and rewrite the sacred words we need now.\n \n\nLed by poet Anna Goodman Herrick\, author of A Speaker is a Wilderness: Poems on the Sacred Path from Broken Whole \, this Ritualwell gathering turns to the Book of Esther as a text of hiddenness\, inversion\, and holy disruption.

Open to both new and seasoned writers; no prior writing experience is necessary. Come ready to play with language\, embrace the chaos\, and enter Purim as a time of celebration\, courage\, and creative rebellion.\n \n\n\n\nThis event will be recorded and sent to participants.
