Kol Nefesh recently started a new series on Women in the Bible, exploring their personalities and their influence on Jewish “history”.
Rabbi Joel kicked off the series with Eve, and Nahum Gordon followed up by looking at the life of Sarah, the first of the four Matriarchs.
We now have several "matches" between female characters and Kol Nefesh members lined up. Keep checking this space for dates.
The biblical figures we've come up (and their presenters where applicable) are below. If you're interested in joining any of these sessions, or presenting one, let us know!
