SUMMARY:Israeli Authors Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:In Meir Shalev’s The Loves of Judith: A Novel\, the title character takes up residence in a barn on the farm of Moshe Rabinovitch\, a widower in 1930s Palestine. Judith attracts the attention of a gentle canary dealer and a coarse cattle dealer as well. The characters’ interconnected stories are gradually revealed in the form of an extended reminiscence by Judith’s son\, Zayde. This 1994 novel\, which first appeared in English in 1999\, is\, as one critic writes\, “fertile ground for . . . tales [that] lie just beyond the edge of plausibility.” \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Her Exodus: A Passover Exploration with Beit Toratah
DESCRIPTION:Starting with regendered moments from the haggadah\, Tamar Biala and Yael Kanarek will take us on a journey with the daughters of Tisraelah out of Metzerot. Come meet Moshah\, Par’ah\, and the hand of Tehovah. \nRegister Now\nTamar Biala has taught in various batei midrash\, rabbinical schools\, and adult education programs in the United States and Israel. At the Shalom Hartman Institute she trained teachers and IDF army officers. She is the co-editor of Dirshuni (Volume I) with Nehama Weingarten-Mintz and in 2018\, edited Volume II. She has recently completed an English edition of Dirshuni\, to be published by Brandeis University Press. Currently she is working with Yael Kanarek on the Toratah project: Regendering the Jewish Bible. See more on her blog. \nYael Kanarek has been a practicing visual artist and jewelry designer working across various media for 30 years. In her work\, she explores the role of language and narrative in forming a worldview. In 2016\, after a decade of Kabbalah studies in the tradition of Baal Hasulam and in response to the stunning void of canonical literature that codifies women’s experiences in the sacred\, she began rewriting the Torah by reversing the genders of all characters. In 2019\, Tamar Biala joined the initiative\, and in 2020\, they founded Beit Toratah. Yael Kanarek earned her MFA in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, NY.
