CNS Women of the Bible Miriam: A Leader in the Wilderness

Join us virtually for our next Women of the Bible Series event, Miriam: A Leader in the Wilderness, led by Dr. Sara Efrat Efron.

Miriam, Moses's big sister, was a prophet-leader. She was courageous, bold, and fallible. She knew when to follow and when to initiate and lead the women in song and dance. Drawing from biblical narrative, rabbinic literature, and contemporary scholars, Dr. Efron will discuss Miriam's enigmatic personality during The Exodus from Egypt.

Dr. Sara Efrat Efron is a Professor of Education. Before she retired, she was the Chair of the Doctoral Program in Curriculum, Advocacy, and Policy at National Louis University.
