Rabbi Manis Friedman rabbi, author, social philosopher and public speaker. Rabbi Friedman is the co-founder and Dean of the Bais Chana Institute of Jewish Studies.

He is featured in the documentary films: The Lost Key (2014) and The Jewish Journey: America (2015)

Miriam Monasch joins Bex in stewdio, to have a little conversation, about her directing skills in MJTC's upcoming production of, "Natasha and The Coat".

Shosha Pearl’s stories of love, sex, romance and yearning, all of which have Jewish themes and deal with ideas and plots that are – technically, at least – permissible by Jewish law.

Most, but not all, of the stories are focused on intimate moments in the lives of religiously observant Jewish women and men. They are fictional reflections of the erotic beauty and desire that can exist even in the most Orthodox home.

Take a look around the site and feel free to come back to me, Shosha, with comments. And please enjoy the stories, because while your rabbi may not encourage you to read them (I hope he will!) you won’t have to worry about stumbling across ideas or plot developments that conflict with (mainstream) halacha.

Happy reading!

Collected Stories

by Donald Margulies

Two women take the stage for this dramatic play about a teacher and her student protégé, kicking off Women's History Month this March. Jennie Ward will make her MJTC directorial debut.

Ruth Steiner is a respected author in the autumn of her career when she hires Lisa, a graduate student, to be her assistant. Under Ruth's mentorship, Lisa's talent is unleashed, but when Lisa writes a novel based upon her teacher's past, their friendship explodes with questions about intellectual property and the ownership of experiences. This gem of a play, by one of today's most admired playwrights, displays "tangled connections between creativity and ideology...thick with ideas like a stockpot of good stew." (Village Voice)

957 GRAND AVE, ST PAUL, MN 55105
EST. 1991
Over 20 years ago Marina and Liliya moved to the United States from Kiev, Ukraine. Growing up with a love of clothes and watching their mom as a talented seamstress, Marina became skilled in tailoring and making clothes. Two short years after moving to St Paul, they opened "Perfect Fit by Marina," a small but now well-known alterations and dressmaking shop.

As that business grew, so did their love of style. Marina and Liliya, dreamt of expanding the business to create a fashion destination for women became a reality in 2012, when opening ATELIER957 in a victorian home on Grand Avenue.
The clothing and accessories they carry are mainly from small designers in Europe and locally in the U.S. who handsew or create each piece. Marina and Liliya's collections are meticulously chosen so women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personalities can feel comfortable and confident.
