This is course #6 in the ReJEWvenate Series!

Introduction to Feminist Methodology: Critique and Study of Texts

Presenter: Rabbi Elyse Goldstein

Description:  This lecture will explore what it means to view biblical texts through a “#MeToo” lens. Does gender color the way we read the Torah?  

Presenter Bio:  Dr. Rabbi Elyse Goldstein is the founding Rabbi of City Shul, a Reform congregation in downtown Toronto she started in 2011, which has grown to prominence as one of the most creative synagogues in Canada. She broke the “stained glass ceiling” right after her ordination upon her arrival to Toronto in 1983, as the only female Rabbi in all of Canada. She was quickly recognized as a fiery speaker, skilled teacher and social justice advocate. She was the first woman to be elected as president of the interdenominational Toronto Board of Rabbis. She has written four books on Women and Judaism and is a blogger for The Times of Israel and HuffPost. In May 2017 she was awarded Doctor of Laws Honoris Causis from Ryerson University in recognition of her path-breaking work in Canada.
