From battlefield to bomb shelter, from home front to hospital, from volunteer rosters to victims' lists—women experience war in distinctive, gendered ways. These are their stories. These are their voices. Voices of Women at Wartime is an Israeli podcast that examines how women affect war and how war affects women. These are the unique perspectives and testimonies of women in their own words—a candid conversation that is sometimes hopeful, sometimes heartbreaking, and always essential as Israel navigates wartime. Hosted by Rachel Stomel and Rivkah Lubitch of the Center for Women's Justice.
(22) Modern Women's Midrashim in the Wake of October 7 (Part 2)
In this episode we continue to study modern midrashim written by women in the wake of October 7 with Tamar Biala, editor of the "Dirshuni" series.
Tamar Biala has been collecting and editing modern women's midrashim for over 20 years and published them as part of the "Dirshuni" series, with two volumes in Hebrew and one in English. The first Hebrew volume was co-edited with Nehama Weingarten-Mintz.
Since October 7, Biala has received many texts relating to the Hamas attack and its aftermath. In this two-part session we will study these powerful texts written by women about grieving mothers and angry grandmothers, faith and doubt, the Jewish present and past and how they interact with one another.
