Talmud

“Maidservant”: The Lost Student of Rabbi Judah the Prince

Hosted By: My Jewish Learning

Watch the recording of this session here:

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.
