The Madwoman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Rereading the Women of the Talmud
SPECIAL ELUL LECTURE: UK launch of Gila Fine’s new book, in conversation with Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum
How does the Talmud portray its heroines? Why are they never as they first seem? And what does this tell us about the rabbis’ views of marriage, sex, childbirth, and what it means to be a woman in the world?
Gila Fine sits down with Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum to discuss her new book on the six named heroines of the Talmud.
