Join HBI online for our next HBI Conversations event featuring Hebrew College Professor Rabbi Jane Kanarek, author of “Beyond Brutality: Reclaiming Female Presence in Bavli Sotah.”
A publication in the Brandeis Press HBI Series on Jewish Women, Kanarek’s “Beyond Brutality” integrates Talmudic and feminist methodologies to examine one of the most troubling tractates of the Talmud, tractate Sotah, which addresses family law. By examining Bavli Sotah as a literary unit, interrogating how, why, and where women are invisible within the tractate, Kanarek brings to light a ubiquitous female presence which is secondary to moral and sinning men and integral to the formation and stabilization of rabbinic culture.
Rabbi Jane Kanarek is professor of rabbinics and dean of faculty at Hebrew College. She is the author of “Biblical Narrative and the Formation of Rabbinic Law” and the co-editor of “Learning to Read Talmud: What It Looks Like and How it Happens” and “Mothers in the Jewish Cultural Imagination,” the latter two of which were finalists for the National Jewish Book Awards.
