Two lectures at the Beit Sapir Auditorium. Asher Ganis will discuss the story of Tamar, Judah’s daughter-in-law, and questions of morality, responsibility, and motherhood. Hillel Yagel will analyze the female voice in new Israeli literature following Amos Oz.
Lecturer: Asher Ganis, Senior Bible Studies Lecturer, Kibbutzim College
After being widowed twice, Tamar deliberately sleeps with Judah, the father of her deceased husbands, in order to become pregnant. This is one of the boldest stories in the Bible, raising questions of morality and responsibility—and asking whether a just goal can justify controversial means.
Lecturer: Hillel Yagel, Literature and Poetry Researcher
The lecture will discuss and analyze the development and expression of the female voice in modern Israeli literature and culture, as reflected in Amos Oz’s groundbreaking masterpiece, My Michael.
Venue: Beit Sapir Auditorium
