Dirshuni: Contemporary Midrashim

in

Taught by Rabbi Barrett
Wednesdays, April 30, May 7, and May 21
7:00-8:15pm, in person and on Zoom

In recent years, there has been a burgeoning interest in contemporary midrashim authored by Israeli women and focused on female figures in scripture. These Midrashim have been collected into a volume called Dirshuni meaning seek for me.  Midrash is an ancient rabbinic form of exegesis, often seen as “stories” that fill the narrative gaps in biblical texts. Join us for this engaging study, where we will explore a different midrash in each session. Throughout the course, we will enhance our textual skills while also opening our hearts and minds to our foremothers’ poignant and emotional stories, viewing them through a fresh lens, and dive into this beautiful new collection.

This course will trace the major ideas of Zionism and explore how over time, the emphasis of Zionism has shifted between different aspects of this line of thought. No prior knowledge required.
