SUMMARY:STROUM LECTURES 2025 | Jewish Women in Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:The Stroum Center for Jewish Studies is proud to announce our 2025 Samuel and Althea Stroum Lecture series\, featuring Bernadette Brooten from Brandeis University.  \n\n\nStroum Lectures 2025 | Jewish Women in Antiquity: Untold Stories of Leadership and Desire\nJoin us as 2025 Stroum Lecturer\, Bernadette Brooten\, explores new scholarship on taboo topics in Judaism and Christianity in the ancient world. While Judaism and Christianity today often emphasize conservative values\, the evidence suggests that ancient Jews were far more comfortable with women in leadership roles than many modern interpretations would acknowledge. This series provides an opportunity to grapple anew with how the Judeo-Christian tradition has dramatically changed over the centuries. \nLecture 1: Gender and Leadership in Ancient Synagogues\nTuesday\, May 6\, 7 – 8:30 p.m. | UW Campus\, Thomson Hall 101\nCould it be that some women held official positions in ancient Mediterranean synagogues? And where did women\, men\, and non-binary persons sit in these synagogues? Visiting scholar Brooten discusses ancient burial and other inscriptions and what we can know about gendered and non-gendered experiences. \nView a recording of this event: \n\n\nLecture 2: Jewish and Christian Women Desiring Women in the Early Roman Empire\nThursday\, May 8\, 4 – 5:30 p.m. | Zoom webinar\nThe Hebrew Bible does not prohibit or condemn sexual relations between women\, the New Testament does. Brooten will discuss why\, as well as compare ancient Jewish and Christian responses. Although not present in Jewish sources\, the names of women who desired other women appear in texts from an ancient Egyptian monastery. Jewish and Christian leaders overlap in condemning marriages between women\, raising the question of what they meant.  \nView a recording of this event: \n\n\nAbout the speaker\n \nBernadette J. Brooten\, Ph.D.\, is the Kraft – Hiatt Professor Emerita at Brandeis University. She is also Director for the Feminist Sexual Ethics Project (https://www.brandeis.edu/projects/fse/).
