It has always been difficult to read the Bible as a feminist and as a Jew, but it is particularly difficult to do so now. It has also never been more important. We will discuss the complications that come with integrating feminism and Judaism, and consider why these complications provide rich, invaluable perspectives on understanding and appreciating the Bible’s beauty and meaning.

Dr. Amy Kalmanofsky is dean of Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies, JTS’s undergraduate school, and dean of the Gershon Kekst Graduate School.

Join us for a screening of Above and Beyond. In 1948, just three years after the liberation of Nazi death camps, a group of Jewish American pilots answered a call for help. In secret and at great personal risk, they smuggled planes out of the U.S., trained behind the Iron Curtain in Czechoslovakia and flew for Israel in its War of Independence. A fascinating little known tale filled with heart, heroism and high flying chutzpah. 

$10/person. A light lunch will be served prior to
screening of the film.
