Kan English

Just ahead of the Hanukkah festival, the English language edition has been published of From Time to Time: Journeys in the Jewish Calendar, by Rabbi Professor Dalia Marx, of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Jerusalem. Translated by Rabbi Peretz E. Rodman, with a forward by Rabbi David Ellenson, the book  blends traditional and contemporary perspectives on each Hebrew month and its holidays, incorporating a diverse range of sources, including traditional interpretations and the voices of feminist theorists and modern scholars. Rabbi Marx spoke with KAN's Naomi Segal about the book, and the interplay of contemporary life with Jewish history and tradition – exploring, against the backdrop of the current Israel-Hamas war, the role of women in the Hanukkah festival.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
