Women and Gender in Jewish Tradition: A Feminist Perspective
Dr. Andrea Lieber
10 – 11 a.m.
January 9, 16, 23, 30
How might we read and reinterpret Jewish texts, history, and tradition through a feminist lens? In these sessions, we’ll analyze the roles and portrayals of women in classical Jewish sources and discuss evolving perspectives on gender in contemporary Jewish life. Focusing on key feminist theorists, we’ll discuss how modern scholarship both challenges and enriches our understanding of Judaism’s approach to women and gender.

T'fillah (Prayer) and Me
Rabbi Sam Blustin
10 – 11 a.m.
February 6, 13, 20, and 27
Prayer is one of the pillars of our congregation. Many of us engage in it daily or weekly. But do you really know how to unlock its depths and connect beyond the surface? In this four week course, we'll explore various modalities for uncovering meaning in prayer - in the structure, text, and choreography of our services.

Yishuv Ha’olam: The Forgotten Mitzvah of Caring for the Earth
Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin

In a world facing the urgent challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, what are we to do? Do Jewish law and ethics encompass the relationship between humans and nature? And if so, what do they say? In these four sessions, we will study Judaism’s rich but complicated attitude toward nature.
