PODCAST: The Jewish Bookshelf: Standing Again at Sinai, Judith Plaskow, PhD

Central Synagogue Podcast

Show Notes

What is feminist theology and Jewish feminism? When and how did they emerge? And who are the leading voices in this revolutionary approach to Jewish scholarship and practice?

Join Rabbinic Intern Rebecca Thau for a thrilling conversation with Judith Plaskow, PhD, one of the most influential Jewish thinkers of the 20th- and 21st-centuries.

The first Jewish feminist theologian, Dr. Plaskow reshaped how Judaism relates to feminism and women. Her seminal writings–including Standing Again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective, “The Coming of Lilith,” “The Right Question Is Theological,” and Goddess and God in the World: Conversations in Embodied Theology–continue to have profound effects on theology and Jewish practice. She will discuss Standing Again at Sinai, the history/development of Jewish feminism, and the future of Jewish feminist theology.

You definitely don’t want to miss this conclusion to The Jewish Bookshelf series!
