Ritual and reader’s theatre

Not a chorus.
A gathering.

Jewish feminist texts made for private reading, group study, rehearsal, ritual, and performance.

Books and candles ready for a community gathering

HINENI: In Sarah’s Tent

HINENI is a sacred reader’s script and communal ritual. It brings women across time into a shared arc of welcome, struggle, memory, and blessing. Each voice carries its own weight, and the reader is invited inside the tent.

It may be read privately, studied in groups, or spoken aloud as communal ritual. Hebrew prayer appears with transliteration, leaving room to speak, listen, hum, or remain silent as the moment requires.

Kol Isha: The Women Speak

A reader’s theater ritual for Yom Kippur, gathering foremothers and prophets, rebels and seekers, leaders and future daughters. The text includes the full ritual, an adaptation for Yom Kippur, and guidance for bringing it to life in community.
