An Evening with Rabba Wendy Amsellem
About
Traditionally, most women were excluded from Torah study. In the past 100 years, women have begun to study Torah enthusiastically and over the past 50 years there has been a revolutionary shift in women’s learning. This shift has been welcomed by some and vigorously opposed by others. We will discuss these shifting trends and explore some texts about Beruriah - the lone female Torah scholar in the Talmud. We will study the texts in which she appears and consider the challenges faced by women Torah scholars – both in Beruriah’s time and today.Location
