Taught by Maggid Charna Rosenholtz. The Five Books of Moses are filled will stories, teachings, and laws. On first glance it appears that women were bit characters in the narrative, relegated to the background. Yet a careful reading shows there are over two dozen women who were keys in the unfolding tale. Their stories fill out the white spaces of the text, the whispered events in Torah. Over these three weeks we will explore the women’s stories and glean an understanding of their role in the development of Hebrew wisdom.
