Hadassah Chicago-North Shore invites you to virtually attend Women of the Bible: Sarah the First Feminist, led by Sara Efrat Efron. Join us as we learn about the life of Sarah Imeinu, the mother of the Jewish Nation. We will examine her role as the first female leader of the Jewish people and explore her relationship with her husband, Abraham. Learn how they worked together as equal partners to build the path to the Judaism we follow today.
