Join us for the Sandra Seltzer Silberman HBI Conversations Series featuring Ronit Irshai and Tanya Zion-Waldoks, authors of “Holy Rebellion: Religious Feminism and the Transformation of Judaism and Women’s Rights in Israel.”
“Holy Rebellion” tells the story of the impact of Orthodox feminism in modern-day Israel and offers incisive analysis of the possibilities for change in the future. It is a ray of hope as Israel faces a new and complex set of challenges.
Dr. Ronit Irshai is associate professor and the head of the gender studies department at Bar Ilan University, a research fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, a member of the board of the Rackman Center for the Advancement of Women’s Status, faculty of law at Bar-Ilan University, and a member of “Kolech,” a religious feminist forum.
Dr. Tanya Zion-Waldoks, assistant professor at the Seymour Fox School of Education at Hebrew University, is a gender scholar, feminist activist and mother of four. Zion-Waldoks is fascinated by the intersection of religion, gender, and politics, with a focus on education and social change. Her current research explores feminist activism and women’s political subjectivities in religious communities or traditional contexts in Israel, examined through qualitative studies with a comparative lens.
“Holy Rebellion” is a Brandeis University Press publication in the Brandeis Series on Gender, Culture, Religion, and Law. Created under the auspices of HBI in conjunction with its Project on Gender, Culture, Religion, and the Law, this series emphasizes cross-cultural and interdisciplinary scholarship concerning Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and other religious traditions.
“Holy Rebellion” is available from the Brandeis University Press, Amazon, and your local bookseller.
