"The Women's Balcony" Now in U.S. Theaters
[ Ссылка ]

Why does patriarchy persist and how can we change it? This panel discussion explores feminist solutions to the challenges of religious beliefs, texts, and traditions, and how entertainment today is transforming the role of women in patriarchal communities. "The Women's Balcony," Israel's #1 film, now playing nationwide in the United States, suggests that feminism can engage an ancient tradition in the building of inclusive, egalitarian and relevant Jewish communities. Featuring a strong female lead and supporting actresses, with a plot written by a female screenwriter, "The Women's Balcony" symbolizes a shift in entertainment away from a male dominated industry. Join our panelists as we bring women's unique appreciation, understanding, and experience of the divine to light.

Featuring special guest panelists:
- Shlomit Nehama, Screenwriter of "The Women’s Balcony"
- Phyllis Chesler, Ph.D., Emerita Professor of Psychology at CUNY, Best-Selling Author and Legendary Feminist
- Sharon Weiss-Greenberg, Ph.D., Executive Director, JOFA
- Judith Rosenbaum, Ph.D., Executive Director, Jewish Women's Archive
