Following the success of her workshop last year, join TBZ Member Pam Greenberg for a more in-depth exploration of Psalms, based on her experiences in writing and publishing a translation of the Book of Psalms. This session will involve participants either translating their own psalm (from Hebrew to English or English to English) or crafting their own psalm through words or visual medium, and the third part will involve a communal reading/show with a time for discussion with all community members who attend (4/13). The intention is to reawaken our relationship with God and our ability to approach God honestly and authentically.
