Scripture Windows: Toward a Practice of Bibliodrama

Bibliodrama is a progress of stepping inside the biblical text and creating midrash as a process of improvisation. Peter Pitzele is the creator of this medium. This is his how to do it, manual, the one used at the Institute for Contemprary Midrash training seminars.

Peter Pitzele, Ph.D., is a writer, teacher, and institutional consultant. He received his master's degree in English Literature from Balliol College of Oxford University and his doctorate in English and American Literature from Harvard University. He has been a certified TEP (Trainer, Educator, Practitioner) in Psychodrama and Group Psychotherapy since 1984. He is the author of Our Fathers' Wells: A Personal Encounter with the Myths of Genesis (Harper SanFrancisco, 1995) and lives part of the year within sight of the ocean on Fire Island, where he is writing his next book.

Torah Aura Productions publishes books for Jewish schools and families that help celebrate our heritage and our faith.

We have over 25 years of experience as the leading creator of high quality educational materials that enable Jewish children to become empowered Jewish adults.

Our books guide and enhance the Jewish knowledge, spirituality and identity of children and their families, and our innovative tools bring Judaism alive in synagogues, Hebrew schools, and day schools.

Torah Aura Productions was founded in 1981 by a group of innovative Jewish educators who looked out at the field of Jewish education and found materials that were shallow and dull. They started a company to create new tools for families and teachers that would be exciting and meaningful. For more than two decades, Torah Aura has revolutionized the way Jewish schools enable their students to become empowered Jewish adults, and has helped families make Judaism a meaningful presence in their homes.

Some of the areas we publish in:
