An in-depth look at women's voices, power and powerlessness in the Tanach, through eight stories that are often glossed over due to their explicit or unusual nature. We’ll explore the text and silences of the text around Dina, Tamar, Batsheva, Esther and more, in order to understand how they used or were used, gained or lost their power and voice. The results often changed the course of Jewish history. 

Using an interdisciplinary approach, we will explore the texts, the questions they raise and the vision they create.

“Better never means better for everyone... It always means worse, for some.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

There’s never been a better time than now to consider our place on the planet, as human beings and as Jews. Together we’ll seek to understand how important – and Jewish – it is to be green.
