Description

This week's portion tells about the death of Miriam. But is the whole story really here? We read the text through the eyes of Rashi and the commentators, and of Dr. Judith Plaskow, a contemporary feminist scholar who teaches that it is our responsibility to search for the voices that have been excluded from Torah.

Making modern meaning from ancient texts! Each week Rabbi Micah Streiffer discusses the weekly Torah portion in about 7 to 10 minutes, through liberal Jewish eyes. We weave together philosophy, spirituality, tradition, and social justice - and derive meaning for today‘s life from our sacred sources. Longer episodes include a bonus interview with leading rabbis and Jewish thought leaders. With questions or comments, please contact me at rabbistreiffer@gmail.com.
