GSA Hosts Guest Speaker Yael Kanarek from Beit Toratah

NOVEMBER 19 | CLUB BLOCK

JCHS is excited to offer a text study and discussion led by Israeli-American artist Yael Kanarek, founder of Beit Toratah. Beit Toratah is a groundbreaking project reimagining the Torah by reversing all genders, placing women at the center of our sacred stories and men into the domestic sphere. This event will be sponsored by the Gender and Sexuality Alliance, and will take place during Club Block on 11/17. Yael will stay for lunch, too, to answer questions and connect more with students.
