Audacity of Prayer & the Not So Silent Amidah: Rabbi Elias Charry Memorial Shabbat Joint Service

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.
