笔谤别蝉别苍迟别谤:听Amy-Jill Levine
A woman hides yeast; a widow threatens a judge; a woman seeks a coin; wise and foolish virgins await a bridegroom鈥�. 听These parables can be read as universal teachings about theology or salvation. 听They should also correct erroneous stereotypes of Jewish women, prompt necessary questions about gender, and offer provocative insights into ancient and modern relationships. This celebration of the feast day of St. Mary of Magdala began with Mass, followed by lunch and a lecture.
