Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight: Bringing Biblical Stories to Life in the Synagogue
Rabbi Laura Lieber, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Duke University
For over two millennia, Jews have read from the Torah every week in the synagogue, but each generation finds new and creative ways to make the stories their own. Laura Lieber will explore some of the poignant, startling, and laugh-out-loud ways the stories of the Torah have been retold in synagogues since antiquity.
