A Tree with Roots is delighted to welcome Rabbi Dalia Marx, PhD, live from Jerusalem, to teach us about the spiritual promise of springtime and Passover’s imminent arrival—at this time of grief and war.
Rabbi Dalia Marx is one of the foremost scholars and exciting teachers of liberal Judaism working in Israel today: Rabbi David Ellenson ז״ל called her “arguably the foremost student of Jewish liturgy of her generation” and “a unique genius.” She is a 10th generation Jerusalemite, earned her doctorate at Hebrew University, and rabbinic ordination at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. She was the lead editor of Tfillat HaAdam (2020), the Siddur of the Israeli Reform movement, and the author When I Sleep and When I Wake: On Prayers between Dusk and Dawn (2010, Hebrew) as well as a wide array of academic and popular writings on Jewish liturgy, the Babylonian Talmud, and Israeli literature.
Rabbi Marx’s new book, From Time to Time: Journeys in the Jewish Calendar, is unlike any previous exploration of the Jewish year. It is a fascinating spiritual journey through the calendar, artfully blending traditional and contemporary perspectives on each Hebrew month and its holidays—with a fantastic collection of classic and contemporary Israeli poems and prayers.
There is no charge for this event. If you’d like to support our online classroom, we’d welcome it warmly:
