In The Studio with Alicia Jo Rabins

Join the Jewish Museum of Maryland in partnership with Third Space + The Ivy Bookshop for an intimate evening with writer, musician, composer, performer, and Torah teacher Alicia Jo Rabins as she steps inside the Museum’s audio-visual production studio. Rabins’ art combines words, music, ritual, and performance to create works of experimental beauty exploring the intersection of ancient wisdom texts, feminism, and everyday life. Her spiritual memoir, When We’re Born We Forget Everything, published by Schocken Books in March 2026, has received starred reviews, including from BookPage which calls it “a balm against all the hurt places of humanity.”

Learn more about Alicia Jo Rabins’ youth in Maryland and her Jewish practice journey, experience prose and poetry from her memoir, hear music from the forthcoming new Girls in Trouble album exploring the stories of biblical women, engage in conversation with the artist through an audience Q+A following the studio recording session, purchase a copy of When We’re Born…, and learn about this program’s companion event in Spring 2027.
