Maggie Anton
Wednesday October 29, 7 p.m.
Rashi’s Daughters: Three Women and a Talmud
Award-winning author Maggie Anton will discuss her historical novels and how Jewish women in Medieval France can be an inspiration to us today. Ms. Anton wrote three books on Rashi’s daughters. Her latest, Secret Scholar, is a tale of a young girl who challenges social conventions to engage in Jewish learning. This book is appropriate for both young and not so young adults. Hint: bring your (pre-) teen child to the talk for an inspiring evening.
