How Women Changed American Religion - A Jewish Perspective
The 4th Annual Padnos Public Engagement Lecuture on Jewish
Learning, featuring:
Karla Goldman, Sol Drachler Professor of Social Work,
School of Social Work, and Professor of Judaic Studies, College of LS&A
“Women’s history is American religious history," as
historian Ann Braude has famously claimed. The 2024 Padnos Lecture
explores how American Judaism has been shaped by general societal
expectations for women's religious behavior and by new active roles
Jewish women took on within their religious institutions. Major
changes that took place included the restructuring of synagogue
architecture with the removal of the women’s gallery, the redefinition
of community through women’s volunteerism, and the introduction of
women's religious leadership, which also challenged conventional
theology. Historically and today, American Judaism -- in dialogue with
American society and other models of religious practice -- has
constantly evolved and transformed in an effort to match the
ever-moving target of gendered expectations for religious behavior and practice.
Join us for a presentation from Dr. Goldman followed by a dessert reception.
This event is held in partnership with the Jean &
Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan.
