Summary: Aviva Richman. Towards a Redemptive Narrative. Recorded live on January 30, 2018. In this turbulent moment of public attention to sexual assault and harassment, we will probe rabbinic sources that speak to our questions, fears and hopes. When approached with sensitivity and creativity, how can our tradition help us envision the meaning of leadership, the role of community and the importance of theology in confronting these realities? We will focus on rabbinic stories, theological and poetic texts to deepen and complicate Jewish legal text on sexual assault. What role can Jewish text play in a path toward healing?
