Facing Our Fears: Trembling Before God On the Days of Awe

A special Elul HerTorah

Featuring Rabbi Avi Strausberg

in partnership with The Blue Dove Foundation

As we approach Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, holidays known as the "Days of Awe and Fear," we'll turn to a modern midrash in which we'll reflect on the role of fear in our own lives and ask: When does fear help us? When does it hurt us? And how should we stand in healthy relationship to our fear?

When does fear serve us? When is it rational and important to listen to, protecting us?

When is fear an anxiety? Holding us back?

As always, our learning is incomplete without you.

Join us Wednesday 9/14 @ 8:15-9:45pm EST

Please invite someone you think might want to be with us, too.

Grateful to partner with The Blue Dove Foundation, transforming the way the Jewish community understands mental health and substance abuse. Check out their powerful support resources for individuals and community around the High Holidays.


HerTorah gathers together a diverse community of Jewish women to connect over our shared heritage, explore our collective wisdom, and elevate our communal experience in learning with and from one another.

HerTorah is directed by Rabbanit Aliza Sperling, made possible in part by support of the Aviv Foundation and inspired by each one of us.


This gathering welcomes women* 12+ and learners of all backgrounds.

SVIVAH is dependent on the generosity of those who choose to invest in a powerful community of women. As always, cost should never be a barrier to anything SVIVAH, but if you can, please help us show respect to our speakers/facilitators for their time and expertise. www.svivah.org/donate
