Gisa Cohen

Overview

A long-wandering Dawn, Gisa Cohen has been a low-key member of the Freehold since it was founded. She went back to Israel for the High Holidays, and spent a little longer there than she expected to, returning only on the eve of Passover 5777. Rumor has it that she's been back from Arcadia for over half a century, maybe even closer to a century -- but if that's the case, then she hasn't aged a day that whole time.

Since returning to Tamarack Falls, she's bought a small shop space and transformed it into a Jewish bookstore and a hangout for the Freehold's Lost. The golem has also formed a motley with like-minded individuals, joined the Custodians, and is patiently waiting to finish her apprenticeship as a Wayperson.

RP Hooks

Books & Judaica - Gisa owns Tamarack Falls Jewish Books, with a private reading room for Freehold-pledged individuals. The Space Communists run the bookstore as a whole, but Gisa owns it.
Judaism - Goylomim protect the Jewish people. This golem studies Torah, too.
Pledgesmith ••• - Want your pledge looked over by someone who considers a page of Talmud her light daily reading? Gisa can look for loopholes and ambiguous wording.
Custodian - Gisa is one of these.
Well-Traveled - With nearly ninety years of walking the world post-Durance, Gisa may well have crossed paths with just about anyone.
Fame: It's unusual for there to be an overtly Religious Changeling, but...

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam, shehecheyanu, v'kiy'manu, v'higianu laz'man hazeh. Our praise to You, Eternal our God, Sovereign of all, for giving us life, sustaining us, and enabling us to reach this season.

Standing on the parted shores of history

we still believe what we were taught

before ever we stood at Sinai's foot;

that wherever we go, it is eternally Egypt,

that there is a better place, a promised land;

that the winding way to that promise

passes through the wilderness.

That there is no way to get from here to there

except by joining hands, marching

together.
