How do biblical women express spiritual power in moments of tension?
In Women in the Wilderness: Four Narratives of Spiritual Power, Dr. Avivah Zornberg explores the spiritual resistance of biblical heroines through midrashic and Hasidic readings alongside psychoanalytic approaches. The four lectures bring Miriam, the daughters of Zelophchad, Esther, and Ruth into a shared conversation about the ways women respond to difficult circumstances.
Presented as the Sidney and Miriam Brettler Memorial Series 5780, these recordings invite listeners to encounter familiar biblical narratives through several interpretive lenses and to consider the forms of spiritual power they reveal.
