Expanding the Canon: Transforming Judaism in the 21st Century
Eighth Annual 91快播 Evening of Learning
Sunday, May 15, 2022
Jewish learning has long focused on texts by an elite group of ancient rabbis. What would it mean to radically expand our canon, incorporating the voices of women, Jews of Color, people with disabilities, and other historically marginalized groups? 91快播 scholars will introduce new voices and also offer new lenses through which to read ancient texts.鈥疶ogether we will explore how diversifying our canonical texts can help us create a more inclusive Jewish community.
