Join My Jewish Learning and Rabbanit Leah Sarna for a deep dive into the Talmud Bavli’s stories about the maidservant of Rabbi Judah the Prince. Learn about this powerful woman who appears in both the home and the study hall (beit midrash) of Rabbi Judah, codifier of the Mishnah.

Through our study of these stories, we will discuss the ongoing challenges, hopes and dreams of Jewish Orthodox feminism.
