Iyar: Women's Ownership and Empowerment in Torah
In this month's podcast Karen Miller Jackson draws inspiration for sefirat ha-omer through the halachic concept of 've-safrah lah,' women's counting 7 clean days. Then she uses this as a springboard for conversation with Rabbanit Anne Gordon and Dr. Naomi Marmon Grumet about women’s growing participation and influence in niddah and Torah scholarship and leadership.
