Revealing Ourselves through Poetry: A Pre-Shavuot Reading with Joy Ladin, Jake Marmer, & Rachel Neve-Midbar

Join three dynamic Jewish poets for a reading to celebrate the ways in which poetry creates space for us to receive revelation and to reveal ourselves in the process, as we prepare to enter the holiday of Shavuot. There will be an open mic after the featured poets perform. 

PLEASE NOTE: Open mic slots are all full now as of 5/14.
