Gendered Gaps: Remembering Sarah Where She is Most Erased

Teacher: Liza Bernstein, Conservative Yeshiva

When we study the Akeidah, the binding of Isaac, we often focus on the dynamics between Abraham, Isaac, and God. We rarely ask: where was Sarah? In this session, we will use traditional sources and gender theory to open up questions of gender, community, and parenting. Through our questioning, we will remember Sarah’s story and re-member Sarah, in all her complexities, as a full part of our tradition.
