SUMMARY:(BYO)Lunch & Learn with Dr. Judith Kates: The Hidden Heroine of Han
 ukkah:  (multi-access)
DESCRIPTION:(In person - Community Room at TBZ and on Zoom)\n\nZoom Link HE
 RE.\n\nMeeting ID: 829 1944 6164\nPasscode: 989305\n\n\n\n\nWe don’t usu
 ally hear about or read a story traditionally associated with Hanukkah in 
 which a remarkable woman is depicted as the savior of the Jewish people. I
 t’s told in the Book of Judith\, a text that has come down to us as part
  of the Jewish Apocrypha (“hidden books”)\, books that were written mo
 stly in the Second Temple period which\, like the books of Maccabees\, did
 n’t make it into the canon of sacred books that we know as our Tanakh.\n
 \nIn this class\, we’ll explore the Book of Judith\, with its heroine wh
 o both challenges and enriches conventional depictions of women in biblica
 l narratives. We’ll also want to engage with the book's challenging use 
 of sexuality and violence as part of its imagined rescue story. We’ll ta
 ke some time to see how this literary masterpiece builds on older biblical
  stories to create new perspectives on our national story.\n\nJudith's dra
 matic rescue of her people was a favorite subject of Christian artists\, e
 specially in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. If possible\, we’ll al
 so spend a little time looking at their “visual midrash” on this story
 .\n\nPlease bring your own dairy/vegetarian lunch. Coffee and tea provided
 !\n\n\n\n
