This class with draw upon Dr. Glass's experience of writing Kissing Girls on Shabbat, a personal memoir about growing up and entering an arranged marriage within Hasidic Judaism, and ultimately fighting to set herself and her children free. As a trauma-focused psychotherapist, Glass learned to use writing as a tool for healing and ultimately for reconstructing her relationship with herself, her queer identity, and her Judaism.

This class will cover the use of art in unlearning and relearning one's Jewish identity.
