Rosh Chodesh Group (Tevet)

Our Rosh Chodesh group, founded by Ruth Reidbord, has been meeting in members’ homes for more than 18 years. We open with introductions, candle-lighting and wine blessings. The heart of the meeting is a lively and provocative discussion of a short story, essay, memoir or midrash (creative interpretation of a Biblical or Talmudic story) written by a Jewish woman, occasionally including a Skype call with the author. We close with a song and refreshments. All Temple Sinai women are welcome! Please join us for learning, community, and inspiration.

Host: Sharon Dilworth
Discussion Leader: Elizabeth Gordon
Rebecca Goldstein, “Looking Back at Lot’s Wife” (essay) in Reading Genesis, 105-116
Beautifully searches for an explanation of what happens to Lot’s wife through midrashim, comparing the contrasting  ideas of a good and righteous person in Jewish and in western philosophical thought.
