‘The Madwoman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Rereading the Women of the Talmud’
Hosted By: London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS)
The London School of Jewish Studies will host a special Elul lecture featuring the UK launch of Gila Fine’s new book, “The Madwoman in the Rabbi’s Attic: Rereading the Women of the Talmud,” with a conversation between Fine and Rabbi Dr. Raphael Zarum. The discussion will explore how the Talmud portrays its heroines, why they are never as they first seem, and what these portrayals reveal about the rabbis’ views on marriage, sex, childbirth, and the role of women. The event will focus on Fine’s analysis of the six named heroines of the Talmud.
