Strong Women in the Tanach: Hebrew Bible - Hiding in Plain Sight

Instructor: Nina Rubin 

Throughout the Bible there are clues that suggest a special power possessed by women. There are also passages that suggest a separate body of knowledge and perhaps even a separate community. The different roles and nature of men and women would have created very different needs. Some believe the Bible is actually a record of the men's community; the women with their different spiritual nature had a separate Torah. This women's Torah may have been oral, written or simply lived, but whatever it's original form, we no longer have conscious access to that knowledge. We are left with the hints and clues in the remaining texts from which to work. This class is a sampling from the Torah, Prophets, and Writings of some of these clues.
