Every Jewish holiday is rooted in both history and the natural world. The Jewish calendar isn’t just a sequence of dates—it’s a living, breathing cycle that weaves together past and present, land and spirit. In this class, we’ll first explore the grand spiral of Jewish time before zooming in on Passover, one of the most powerful moments in our seasonal and historical journey. We’ll uncover the deep connections between spring’s liberation from winter, the Exodus from Egypt, the barley harvest, calving season, new beginnings, and our own personal sense of spiritual renewal.

Come ready to explore, reflect, and connect with the rhythms that shape our collective and personal stories.
