Come Home to Barnert!

Women figure prominently in the Torah, but their stories are often shrouded in mystery.  What caused Sarah's death? How did Rebecca receive prophecy?

In this class, we will learn to read for the gaps in the Torah - the stories left untold.  We will then look at midrash, both ancient and modern, to see how people before us have filled in those gaps by writing stories about the women of the Bible.  We'll also use our imaginations about these ancient women to create their lives anew.

This class is open to all.  No background knowledge is required, and people of any gender are encouraged to participate.
