CANCELED Women in Israeli Culture: The Army, the Rabbis, and Me

Posted on January 28, 2020

WE ARE SORRY TO SAY THAT THIS LECTURE HAS BEEN CANCELED. We look forward to seeing you at our other events.

March 25 at 7:230 in the UNCG’s Music Building, Tew Recital Hall

ABOUT THE LECTURE: While Israel is widely admired for including women in army service and for being among the first countries to elect a female Prime Minister, Israeli women face many of the same challenges as females worldwide as well as issues unique to Israel. In this talk, Gradstein addresses the issues as she has seen and lived them: from her own experiences with rabbinic courts to her daughter’s army service and beyond.
