********************************************************
Rivkah Slonim's lectures offer a unique blend of traditional wisdom and
contemporary thought; her delivery creates a dynamic experience in Jewish
study. Slonim brings scholarship, sensitivity and a refreshingly candid
style to her presentations creating a sense of comradeship and dialogue with
her audiences. Rivkah Slonim's offerings include lectures, textually based
classes and Shabbaton programs. She also leads " Women Only " Shabbatons
that afford participants a highly charged sense of power in sisterhood.
Rivkah Slonim is the education director at the Chabad House Jewish Student
Center in Binghamton, New York and a nationally known teacher, lecturer, and
activist. She travels widely, addressing the intersection of traditional
Jewish observance and contemporary life, with a special focus on Jewish
women in Jewish law and life. Her book, Total lmmersion: A Mikvah Anthology
(Jason Aronson l996), has been widely acclaimed and is already in its third
printing. Her next book; "Bread and Fire; Jewish Women find God in the
Everyday", was published by Urim in 2005.
Rivkah Slonim will be joining us in Seelye Hall at Smith College from 7:30-9
PM, after which she will be taking questions and there will be schmoozing.
This event is free and open to the public. No prior knowledge is required.
