She Is Wisdom: Book Launch with Author, Miki Raver
Tuesday, May 16, 2017
7pm
Osher Marin JCC

Join us for a powerful evening, celebrating the Feminine Divine. Author Miki Raver says, "Listen to her Voice led me on a journey through the stories of the biblical foremothers to discover the Divine Feminism in between the lines of the text: in the prayer of Hannah's heart, in the devotion of Ruth for Naomi, and in the redemptive love inspired by Queen Esther."

Raver will discuss her research and insights in an illustrated lecture of pertinent themes from her new book She Is Wisdom. Following her presentation, Raver will share Letters from Wisdom, a simple, powerful technique combining breath and guided meditation, in which participants receive guidance for their life in the form of a loving letter from Wisdom. Raver has conducted hundreds of letter writing sessions for thousands of women. Copies of She Is Wisdom will be available for sale, and a book signing will follow the program.

ABOUT THE BOOK
This exquisite volume uncovers a little known gem in the Wisdom Literature. Raver focuses on scribe and scholar Ben Sira's poetic homage to the Feminine Divine in Ecclesiasticus (written in 180 BCE), also known as Sirach. Sira's powerful words are paired with resonant images by beloved artists, including Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali and Chagall.
