Honoring Women Within Judaism @ The New Shul
May 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Join Rabbi Elana Kanter (The Women’s Jewish Learning Center) and psychologist and educator Dr. Jennifer Brown for the presentation Honoring Women Within Judaism: Sexism, Sexuality and Spirituality of Modern Judaism on May 15 from 7 to 8:30 pm at The New Shul at 7825 E. Paradise Lane in Scottsdale.

At a moment where the importance of hearing women’s voices in contemporary spaces in business, medicine, the arts, and politics is a growing need, Rabbi Kanter and Dr. Brown want to encourage that same reflection of women’s voices within Judaism. Together, they will explore the traditional mitzvot and modern taboos that belong specifically to women from both rabbinic and scientific perspectives. Join Valley Beit Midrash and The Women’s Leadership Institute for an evening of discussion and introspection as we honor the needed nexus of women and feminism within the Jewish experience!
