Priestesses of the Hebrew Bible

with RAV KOHENET JILL HAMMER

Where can we find priestess role models in the Hebrew Bible? What are the practices, skills, or approaches we could learn from them? From Miriam to Tamar, from Chanah to Devorah, from Tziporah to Samson’s mother, discover sacred moments in the stories of prophets and wise women, dedicants and holy outcasts. We’ll look at the Bible, midrash, archaeology and our own imaginings to deepen our understanding of biblical priestessing.
