Dirshuni: Contemporary Women's Midrash

Dirshuni: Contemporary Women's Midrash
 
Classes run on Mondays from 6:00-7:00 PM, starting
 January 22, 2024 through April 1, 2024 with Rabbi Abe Friedman (after evening Minyan). 
 
Midrash, one of the fundamental genres of Jewish literature, came into being almost 2,000 year ago and was developed and composed by thousands of sages working in parallel – all of whom were men. In our generation, increased opportunities for women to study and teach led to a renewed interest in composing Midrash. In this series, we will study selections from Dirshuni, a two-volume collection of Midrash by contemporary Israeli women, and explore the ways in which their writings connect with classical Midrash and how women's voices expand the horizons of Torah.
 

The cost is $18 for all registrations.



Thank you!
