YOURS, MINE, OR OURS:UNDERSTANDING WOMEN'S AUTHORITY OVER MARRIED PROPERTY — PROFESSOR ELISHEVA BAUMGARTEN

This talk examines the ability of married women to make financial decisions concerning money given to charity and business dealings in medieval Europe. It will discuss the ways medieval rabbis found to allow women greater freedom in business and the ways this freedom was taken away from the women at a later date, while leaving options for women’s charitable donation. It follows sources from the Talmud through the sixteenth century and ends with a surprising new reading of the Bible.

Professor Elisheva Baumgarten is a professor of Jewish History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Before moving to Hebrew U in 2013 she taught at Bar Ilan University where she was one of the founders of the Gender Studies Program and the Director of the Fanya Gottesfeld Heller Center for the Study of Jewish Women (2006-2011). She is a social historian who specializes in the history of the Jews in medieval Germany and Northern France. She has published articles that discuss medieval life cycle rituals, women in Jewish culture, Jewish-Christian relations as well as children and their education. Her books include Mothers and Children. Jewish Family Life in Medieval Europe (Prince-ton University Press, 2004), and Practicing Piety in Medieval Ashkenaz (University of Pennsylvania Press 2014).

This event is free and open to the public.

RSVPs greatly appreciated. Please visit our website: teprov.org/form/baumgarten or call the Temple Office at 401-331-1616

Shabbat mornings

Early Service in the Fishbein ChapelThe 8 AM Shabbat service in the Fishbein Chapel is a favorite of those who are up early and like an abbreviated davening. This service is lay led. Participants enjoy a warm camaraderie that enhances the spirited singing in the worship experience.

Sanctuary Service in the Main SanctuaryEach week, services are held at 9:30 AM in the Main Sanctuary for the entire Emanu-El community. This service is where members celebrate a host of life cycle celebrations, including baby-namings, Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations, Aufrufs in anticipation of forthcoming weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and trips to Israel. All these celebrations are conducted within the embrace and support of the congregation that gathers faithfully to daven, learn and socialize together. All are welcome. “Regulars” are ready to help newcomers to find their way and become comfortable in the service.

Minyan HadashMinyan Hadash meets the 2nd and 4th Shabbat of each month at 9:45 AM in the Fishbein Chapel. The style of the minyan is lay-led, warm and informal. It is a traditional, egalitarian, and spirited service that includes a full Torah reading, a brief D’var Torah, and all of the other parts of the service. People of all ages are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Soulful ShabbatShabbat each week reminds us that meaning in our lives lies not in what we accomplish but in being part of the universe. Soulful Shabbat meets the 3rd Shabbat of each month at 10:00 AM for a Shabbat morning worship experience that creates a space for pause and reflection by simplifying and slowing down the tradi-tional Shabbat service. Soulful Shabbat, led by Rabbi Alan Flam, emphasizes silence, quiet melody, meditation, and movement, along with traditional davening and Torah study.
