Or Shalom’s next KOREH/קרא: Writers in the Sanctuary coincides with Tu B'Sh'vat - the New Year for Trees and it's an open mic with a special theme: the human relationship with the environment. Featured readers are Renee Sarojini Saklikar, former poet laureate for the City of Surrey, and Mark Winston reading from 'Listening to the Bees,' their collaborative poetry/science book. Alex Leslie and Rabbi Hannah Dresner host.

KOREH/קרא is a series of literary events featuring Or Shalom writers and friends reading in the Or Shalom sanctuary.
