Through the lens of modern midrash, we will explore the seduction scenes in the Bible that lead up to the Messianic lineage--the Daughters of Lot, Tamar and Judah, and Ruth and Boaz in the granary. Drawing from Dirshuni, as well as her own poetry, Rachel Adelman will take you on a journey through the worlds of Biblical interpretation and imaginative feminist re-readings.
