***REGISTRATION CLOSED. WALKS UPS WELCOME!***

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Join us for a sumptuous study of the divine feminine as she appears
in the Jewish tradition from ancient times to today. We will attempt to understand her through Hebrew texts, images of beauty and suffering, and as she emerges on the world stage in our own day.
