New & UPCOMING At Art/Lab
S3E29 How 17th Century Yiddish Prayer Shaped a Modern Jewish Writer
with Eve Bernfeld, writer, teacher, theater artist, mother and Art/Lab Alum
Our conversation moves through Jewish prayer, fairy tales, and Jewish magic as living creative resources rather than abstract traditions. Eve reflects on discovering tkhines (vernacular women's prayers), writing contemporary poetic prayers that emerge directly from domestic life, and finding her way back to speculative and magical fiction rooted in Jewish sources. Along the way we talk about vulnerability, belonging, the body as part of artistic practice, and how creativity can be a way of reclaiming parts of ourselves we thought we had left behind.
S328 Can We Find Truth Amidst Competing Narratives?
with Rebecca Clarren, author of The Cost of Free Land and Art/Lab Alum
Rebeccaβs debut book, The Cost of Free Land, was named a Best Book of 2023 by several publications, won the Will Rogers Medallion Award, and was shortlisted for the High Plains Book Award and the Great Plains Book Award.
Rebecca and Rabbi Josh talk about Jewish identity and values, and how those shape her work. She has a passion for amplifying marginalized and silenced voicesβand for uncovering the stories that get buried beneath the dominant narrative. We talk about storytelling, contested truth, and what it means to hold multiple perspectives at once.
They also touch powerfully upon grief and loss, and how they've informed her life and her work.
