Torah Study with Rabbi David

Co-facilitated by Rabbi Polisson (Congregation Or Atid) and Rabbi Raysh Weiss (Temple Israel of Natick) 4 Thursdays starting April 27 at 7:30 on Zoom Dirshuni, edited by Tamar Biala, is a groundbreaking collection of original midrashim written by contemporary Israeli women. Based on classic biblical and rabbinic narratives, it creates a place for con­tem­po­rary women to see them­selves in the sacred texts. Women writers, from all denominations, political stripes and ethnic backgrounds offer new takes on traditional stories. Their commentaries provide us a glimpse into what the beit midrash (study hall) of old could have sounded like had it included women's voices. This year the entire collection has been translated into English and published. We are excited to explore a sampling of these texts together. No knowledge of Hebrew necessary--all welcome!
