Wednesdays: 3-4:30 pm ET / Noon-1:30 pm PT / 8-9:30 pm UK, beginning October 4th
Do you want to feel more confident making Jewishly-rooted ritual? Do you want to find authentic and innovative ways to mark moments that matter? Did you know that Jewish people have many customs and rituals that you cannot find in classical sacred texts, but can find in this UnYeshiva course?
In this course we will explore Jewish ritual-craft,- expanding our awareness of what has existed, and building our own skills in making ritual and ceremony. We will look at rituals around birth, death, protection, life-transition (of many kinds), and the parts of the cycle of the Jewish year. We will learn from sacred texts, folklore and anthropology, and each other. Students will be given time and space to be inspired by what we learn, create rituals for themselves, and reflect with one another about the impact of their work.

About Rachel
Rachel Rose Reid (she/her) is based in London, England. Her work as a writer, storyteller, ritualist, and kohenet is bound together by her love of shaking the dust from old narratives and lost histories – so that we can find healing and new visions in the present. She specialises in making life cycle rituals for unconventional Jewish folk, including weddings, blessings, and grief and remembrance ceremonies. Rachel is co-founder of Yelala, a constellation of projects that enables Jewish people and allies to learn from Jewish women/femme/folk ancestors, through online learning, in-person retreats, and weekly opportunities for devotion through song. She has been a facilitator for Wilderness Torah, the Sadeh (England’s only Jewish environmental and farming community), and Limmud International. As an award-winning artist she has worked with Billy Bragg, BBC Radio and the London Symphony Orchestra.
