Episode 65: Regendering the Torah
Yael Kanarek wanted a more direct relationship with the Divine than she experienced through male-centric Jewish sacred texts—so she rewrote the Torah. In Toratah, or Her Torah, Yael has switched the genders of each character. The result is a familiar text that resonates very differently, with a new set of matriarchs and patriarchs, and stories that draw new connections and pose new questions.
