Rabbi Ariann Weitzman will teach on the works of Rabbi Abraham Isaak Kook, the first chief Ashkenazi rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine and one of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century.  "HaRav" was a mystic, a halakhist, a Torah scholar, and above all a practical thinker about the future of Judaism, especially in the land of Israel.  We will look at several of his works, focusing primarily on "Orot HaTeshuvah," the lights of repentance.

The Hidden World of Islamic Women, Geraldine Brooks                                                  
Before becoming a well-known fiction writer, Geraldine Brooks (People of the Book) was a prizewinning foreign correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, covering the Middle East at a time of resurgent fundamentalism.

Exciting News for Women of BK!

You may have noticed that the
