Learning Discussion, Havdalah, and Potluck
5:00 p.m.
Discussion Topic:
And the Women: Female Power and the Story of Redemption: It is possible (though woefully incomplete) to retell the Passover story without mentioning a single woman. You could focus on the inspiring leadership of Moses or the hard-heartedness of Pharaoh or even the masculine image of God as Ish Milhama, Man of War. Yet, the rabbis in the Talmud maintain that Israel was redeemed from slavery in Egypt precisely because of women. Who were these women and what can we learn from their leadership, courage, and ingenuity?
