HBI founding director, Shulamit Reinharz, returns to HBI for a conversation with HBI Director Lisa Fishbayn Joffe about her expansive and colorful first person collection, “100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World,” co-edited with Barbara Vinick. The collection features stories of Jewish brides from six continents and highlights diverse rituals related to weddings then and now.
Shulamit Reinharz is the Brandeis University Jacob Potofsky Professor of Sociology, Emerita, the founding director of the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University, and the founding director of the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute/HBI.
Barbara Vinick, former Associate Professor at the School of Public Health of Boston University, is secretary of Kulanu, an organization that supports isolated and emerging Jewish communities around the world.
100 Jewish Brides is the third collection inspired by Reinharz’s vision of Judaism as practiced by women worldwide. As a past HBI Research Associate, Vinick collected and edited stories for “Esther’s Legacy: Celebrating Purim Around the World.” Vinick and Reinharz followed this with the award-winning and co-edited anthology “Today I Am a Woman: Stories of Bat Mitzvah Around the World.”
“100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World” is available at Amazon, Bookshop, and your local bookseller. Books will also be available for purchase at the in-person event, followed by a book signing.
This is a hybrid program.
