How did the Hebrew Bible and the early literature of the Mishna and Talmud introduce revolutionary ideas on sex and gender? How did tradition fail to put these insights and intentions into practice? Almost certain to change your understanding of ancient Torah literature and its relation to current issues around sexuality and gender. This is the second lecture in the Radical Readings series. Lecturer Matthew Gindin is a local journalist and Jewish educator, and has taught on Jewish culture for more than a decade.
