#MeToo and The Handmaid's Tale: Why we should name Bilhah and Zilpah as Matriarchs, Facilitated by Pat Madsen

Thursday, January 17, 2019 • 11 Shevat 5779

6:30 PM - 8:30 PMB'nai Havurah

Twelve tribes, four mothers, but we only name two. Is it shame? Class? Iron Age inheritance patterns? Habit? Patriarchy? Join us for a presentation and discussion about why we should name all six Matriarchs: Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah and Zilpah.

Presenter: Pat Madsen is a long-time member of B'nai Havurah. She's been part of creating several of our High Holiday liturgies.

Cost: No cost for members of B'nai Havurah; $5.00 per person for Friends of B'nai
