Issues in Jewish Feminist Theology Students consider examples of feminist theologies, both Jewish and non-Jewish. They then move from theory to application using the resources they have analyzed, to begin constructing a personal Jewish theology within a feminist framework. Participants are encouraged to revalue these issues from their own perspectives. Students examine from a feminist perspective such traditional values as community service, concern for the poor and interpersonal relationships. Each week the topic of study is explored both through study and through creative means.
Women employ creative writing, drama, yoga, and visual arts to explore the topic more deeply.
Hebrew Language Study Studying Hebrew will enrich students' participation in the Bat Kol program. We strongly encourage our students to make use of existing Hebrew language programs in Jerusalem for the month preceding the program. This may include volunteer work at a battered women's shelter, a rape crisis hotline, a women's center, or other agencies serving women and children in Israel.
