Early Modern Women Re-Read the Binding of Isaac: Rabbi Elias Charry Memorial Kiddush & Afternoon Program

11/16/2019 @ 11/16/2019 - 11/16/2019 EST

Event Navigation

Through the underappreciated words of 18th century women’s Yiddish prayers, we will revisit the meaning of the binding of Isaac. What kind of model do these women present for turning our voices of critique into pious practice? All are invited to the Marcus Auditorium following the service for kiddush and an afternoon program with Rabbi Aviva Richman. Childcare will be extended through the program, as well as supervised youth care for children age 6-12.

Please join us in welcoming Rabbi Aviva Richman as this year’s Rabbi Elias Charry Memorial Scholar-in-Residence. Rabbi Richman is on the faculty at Hadar Institute in NYC, where she teaches Talmud and other Jewish texts.  A native of Baltimore, her Jewish roots include a liberal Havurah and a hassidic shtibl.  After her undergraduate work in Jewish studies and feminism at Oberlin College, she went on to pursue private ordination with Rabbi Danny Landes in Jerusalem, and is finishing a doctorate in rabbinic literature at NYU.  Rabbi Richman has taught on Talmud, gender and Judaism across North America. In addition to studying words of Torah, she loves to bring niggunim to life through song and piano.
