Miracles On The Margins: How Outsiders Change Jewish History
Many pivotal moments in Jewish history start with figures who are on the margins of society. Let's delve into these stories and discuss why these outsiders are chosen, how their perspectives vary, and what they bring to the Jewish people.
Join us for some thoughtful conversation about biblical outsiders with some fantastic women*.
