Jews have been using “midrash” as an interpretive tool for centuries. So, what is “midrash,” and how can we relate to it today?
Join Rabbinic Intern Rebecca Thau for an exciting conversation with Rabbi Jill Hammer, PhD, where they will delve into these topics and beyond.
Author, teacher, midrashist, mystic, poet, essayist, and priestess, Rabbi Hammer is committed to an earth-based and wildly mythic view of the world in which nature, ritual, and story connect us to the body of the cosmos and to ourselves. She is the co-founder of the Kohenet Institute and the Director of Spiritual Education at the Academy for Jewish Religion. Rabbi Hammer is the author of nine books and numerous articles, poems, and stories–including compilations of contemporary women’s midrash.
