A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Suzanne Singer
About The Event:
Did Eve tempt Adam to eat the fruit of the tree? Was Hagar a victim or a prophet? Who were the women warriors? Through biblical stories and midrash (rabbinic interpretations), we will uncover how these women challenged the patriarchy.
