After Simchat Torah: Israeli Women Writing Midrash with Tamar Biala
Thursday, May 15 at noon
The remarkably rich world of Midrash, the product of centuries of Jewish creativity, has been created entirely by men. Recent years have seen new midrashim written by learned, committed and creative women. This session will present midrashim by various Israeli women grappling with the experience of living through October 7 and its aftermath.
This is the rescheduled Voices of Israel talk from March 23. Tamar will be with us on Zoom from Israel.
