Women's torah study

For the password, or to join the weekly email list,  please contact Taylor Hayden.​​​​​

Wednesday | 12pm
In-Person in Sardas Beit Midrash or Zoom 

How did our parents and grandparents react to the idea of a woman opening the ark, reading torah, and leading services? How do we think about it now, and why does it matter?

Join Rabbi Shira Wallach for a deep dive into the sociological and halakhic conversations around women's roles in Jewish prayer spaces. Our primary text this year will be Gender Equality and Prayer in Jewish Law, by Rabbis Ethan Tucker and Micha'el Rosenberg. We will also take time to reflect on our personal journeys and reactions to these ideas through journaling; please bring a notebook and pen.

We send weekly emails with class reminders, Zoom information, and a copy of the material, though we highly recommend that you purchase the book.
