Biography
Dr. Marcia Falk is widely known in the progressive Jewish world for her re-creations of Hebrew and English prayers from an inclusive, nonpatriarchal perspective. Her new book of poems is The Sky Will Overtake You. Her other books include The Book of Blessings: New Jewish Prayers for Daily Life, the Sabbath, and the New Moon Festival (CCAR Press); The Days Between: Blessings, Poems, and Directions of the Heart for the Jewish High Holiday Season (Brandeis U. Press); Inner East: Illuminated Poems and Blessings (Oak & Acorn Press); and Night of Beginnings: A Passover Haggadah (JPS / U. of Nebraska Press). She is the author of a now-classic translation of the Song of Songs (Brandeis U. Press); translations of modern Hebrew and Yiddish women poets Zelda and Malka Heifetz Tussman; and three chapbooks of her own poetry.
Marcia has a PhD in comparative literature from Stanford and was a postdoctoral Fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She holds an honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. She was a university professor for two decades and today lectures widely.
A lifelong painter, Marcia studied at the Art Students League of New York, where she is a Life Member. Her pastel drawing appears on the cover of The Sky Will Overtake You.
Marcia grew up in New York and now lives in Berkeley, California. She is married to the poet Steve Rood. Their son, Abraham Gilead Falk-Rood (Abby), teaches English and music to new immigrants in an Oakland public high school.
