HerTorah: Passover 2022: “Missing Half the Story”: Bringing Women*s Torah to the Seder Table

Featuring Rabbanit Sara Wolkenfeld, Danielle Kranjec, Heather Miller + Rabbi Emily Meyer

At our Passover Seder, we are supposed to tell the story of our liberation. But if all the voices shared are male, we are missing half the story. In this HerTorah gathering, our teachers will bring female* Torah voices into the conversation – then you can bring them back to your own Seder tables this year.

How can we have a full exploration of liberation without half our voices around the table? So much of the Torah that is shared at Passover seders comes from men -- we want Passover Torah that has been taught or written by women*. Our educators will share Passover Torah by women* throughout history – from medieval times to modern day. Join us in bringing more of our voices around the table.

As always, our learning is incomplete without you.

Please invite someone you think might want to be with us, too.

Join us Wednesday 4/6 @ 8:15-9:30pm EST

HerTorah gathers together a diverse community of Jewish women to connect over our shared heritage, explore our collective wisdom, and elevate our communal experience in learning with and from one another.

HerTorah is directed by Rabbanit Aliza Sperling, made possible in part by support of the Aviv Foundation and inspired by each one of us.
