Summary |
Below is the list of all the texts considered to be Jewish Apocrypha. That is, they are ancient writings believed to have been written by and for Jews, but for various reasons were not canonized into our Tanakh.
Each title links to their Wikipedia article. For Rabbi Lizz's summaries and links to someplace you can read the text online (where such links could be found), go to this Google Doc.

Sunday, May 4th 1:00p to 2:00p
This is a course for Jewish people over 18 who wish to have a B' Mitzvah service and celebration. Whether you converted to Judaism, weren't raised in a shul, were raised in a shul that didn't allow your gender to have such a service, or even if you had one at 13 and are ready for a do-over, you are welcome in this class. You will learn or relearn some staples of Jewish liturgy, Torah, hone D'var Torah writing and service-leading skills, and generally have a space to ask whatever questions about Judaism you have felt haven't been answered adequately for you up to this point (I can't promise to have a more adequate answer, but let's talk about it!). We will collectively discuss dates and services for class members to lead and celebrate their becoming a Bar/Bat/MiBeit Mitzvah. Classes will meet in person. If you are interested and cannot attend a class, please let Rabbi Lizz know. -
