We’re delighted to welcome Dr. Ruth Calderon to A Tree with Roots: an opportunity to study with a world-class teacher and to understand the painful situation in Israel through the lens of Jewish spiritual wisdom.
Ruth Calderon is a renowned educator and Talmud scholar working to promote Israeli and Jewish culture, Hebrew, and the cultivation of the study of Torah in a liberal, pluralistic, and humanistic public sphere. She served as a Member of Knesset for the Yesh Atid party and as Deputy Speaker in the 19th Knesset.
Ruth founded two Israeli institutions devoted to the study of sacred Jewish texts: Beit Midrash Elul in Jerusalem and Alma-Home for Hebrew Culture in Tel Aviv. She served as the head of the culture and education department of the National Library of Israel. She is the author of A Bride for One Night: Talmud Tales and A Talmudic Alpha Beta, which present beautiful and personal readings of classic Talmudic stories.
All are welcome to join us for this intimate event with an extraordinary scholar.
There is no charge for this event. If you’d like to promote our work and help us grow, we warmly welcome your support here:
