Memoir Writing from a Jewish Perspective with Rob Freedman Eight Tuesday sessions May 17 - July 5 2:00-4:00pm Participants will explore their life stories using prompts to jump start their memories, to zero in on those moments that are both rich and significant. Special attention will be paid to the communal aspect of the Jewish experience. Writers will be asked to write quickly, without pre-planning, about moments in time, both lovely and traumatic. Workshop participants will also work on a longer piece of writing that may be shared with the larger community in a public reading.
