It was asked of the episode of the golden calf:
Where was Miriam?
A new version of the story emerged (a midrash)—When Moses was long in coming down from the mountain—too long—the people came to Aaron, feeling abandoned by Moses and by God. As Aaron instructed the people, Miriam watched from afar as it says, “his sister stationed herself at a distance,” (Exodus 2:4).

“When getting ready to move to the new Hebrew College shared campus, going through boxes and boxes of music under our desks, Kol Arev Music Director Amy Lieberman and I found pieces in Ladino, in Hebrew, settings of Yiddish folk music—so many musical treasures, some of which we will be performing with our other treasures, our cantorial alumni and Hebrew College Kol Arev chamber choir.” —

Beacons of Hope: Our Interreligious S/Heroes—Tara Brach
|
|
|
Tara Brach is an American psychologist, author, and founder of the Insight Meditation community in Washington DC. Tara is my interreligious hero—not on account of any specific work she has done to build bridges between faith communities—though her work regularly unites people across faith—but because of her promotion of the values that animate our religious commitments: justice, peace, compassion, and understanding—irrespective of creed. She’s made and continues to make practical, loving, and deep spirituality accessible to millions.

|
|
|
“Our social life was Hebrew College and we loved that,” said Susan Fish, a graduate of Hebrew College’s Bachelor of Jewish Education program in 1964. “We weren’t taking piano lessons, or any of the other lessons that kids can take today: our lives were Hebrew College,” she said referring to the dual-enrollment requirements of students in the College’s undergraduate degree program in the 60s-70s.
