Description

Join Miriam Cohen and Talia Goldberg to explore how ancient Jews marked time in the transition from hametz (leavened bread) to matzah and explore questions of how we can sanctify our own time in a world of fractured attention. One glance at a phone tells us the time down to the second. It's easy to forget that there are certain moments when time becomes crucial: transitions where every minute forms a bridge between before and after. As we wait for freedom on the eve of Passover and count the Omer, each hour becomes one of those transitions. Open to any learning level; text in English and Hebrew
