About

For the past seven years, the Ingeborg, Tamara and Yonina Rennert Women in Judaism Forum has brought to Barnard scholars, artists and activists whose work promotes understanding of the complex roles of sex, gender and sexuality in Judaism today and throughout history. This fall, building on years of insightful conversations about Jewish women's lives and work, the Center hosts a major conference that will bring together today's most celebrated Jewish thinkers to discuss the unique role of Jewish women in movements for social justice. By examining the contributions that second- and third-wave Jewish feminists have made in politics, the academy, the media, and the arts, the conference will highlight the invaluable influence that Jewish history and experience have had on struggles for fundamental human and women's rights.
