Course Description:
We’re all tourists in this life—exploring new places, meeting unforgettable people, and collecting memories that shape who we are. But when Jews travel, we don’t just bring suitcases—we carry generations of Folk Memory in our DNA. Every journey echoes with the footsteps of those who came before.
In this 7-week poetic adventure, join Rabbi Lipson—your guide and resident poet—as we travel across time and space through Jewish history, culture, and memory, all from the comfort of your own home. We'll visit places both past and present, real and remembered, through original poetry that brings each stop vividly to life.
The bad news: frequent flyer miles won’t apply.
The good news: no airports, no vaccines, no tipping required.
MONDAYS, 10:00-11:30am (ET)
Dates: July 7, 14, 21, 28; Aug. 11, 18, 25
