Beit Midrash in Motion

Beit Midrash in Motion is inspired by a phrase from the Friday evening liturgy: “rav lach shevet.” Literally meaning “you have been sitting for too long,” the phrase serves as an invitation—and a motivation—to reimagine the experience of Jewish study.

Beit Midrash in Motion is a Jewish study hall experience that weaves movement and meditation into traditional text study. Set in an environment that feels more like a yoga studio than a conventional beit midrash, participants engage with powerful and thought-provoking Talmudic tales, liturgical texts, and biblical narratives.

Through movement, meditation, and close textual analysis, communities of learners explore ancient passages in ways that are deeply personal, meaningful, and fully embodied.

Mishpacha in Motion

Mishpacha (Family) in Motion is a dance class for families of all ages and configurations who want to learn, move, groove, and celebrate together. Parents and grandparents, tots and pre-teens—all are welcome to join in this alternative, fully embodied Jewish learning experience.

This lively class blends creative movement with Jewish learning, inviting families to explore Torah themes through dance, storytelling, and imaginative interpretation. Through movement and play, participants discover new ways to connect with Jewish tradition—and with one another.

Choreo

My choreographic work lives at the intersection of text, memory, and movement. Drawing from Jewish sources, lived experience, and the stories of Jewish women across generations, I create dances that seek to make visible what is often carried quietly: inheritance, resilience, longing, heartbreak, joy, spirituality, and communal connections.

My movement language is a synthesis of Israeli folk dance and modern dance. The communal pulse and grounded vitality of Israeli dance meet the expansive possibilities of the freedom of modern dance, creating a vocabulary that honors both the ancient and the contemporary.

Through dance, I seek to uncover and amplify moments where the personal and the collective converge, where movement becomes a form of interpretation, and where stories carried across generations find renewed voice. My works bring the voices of Jewish women to the stage and allow audience members the opportunity to listen, witness, and emotionally connect with them through movement.
