Description
The Talmud’s relationship to women is complex: sometimes gratifying, at times maddening, and always fascinating. Women’s lives are discussed in many ways across the tractates of the Talmud, but there are very few women who are actually named. This semester, we will continue our exploration of how women are portrayed in Talmud and what the lives of the six most prominent named women: Yalta, Homa, Marta, Heruta, Beruria, and Ima Shalom, can teach us, as women, about our lives today.
Join us to see how, even thousands of years later, these ancient texts continue to have meaning in our 21st century lives. And don’t be afraid to bring your own experiences to the table! Each one of us has something to add to this age-old sacred dialogue. You do not need to have any prior experience in Talmud study to join us. You also need not have joined us last semester to enjoy the learning this spring!
This class meets weekly from 10am-11am in person, with zoom options available. Location and zoom link provided upon registration.
If you would like to pay by check, or have financial needs that require a scholarship, please contact Rabbi Langowitz at rabbilangowitz@womenlearning.org.
