(5) Rabbanit Surale Rosen: Teaching Torah, Building Bridges
Manage episode 439221662 series 3587087
Rabbanit Surale Rosen is a graduate of Matan’s 5 year halacha programme and she founded their Women’s Online Halachic Responsa Project. For the past 2 years she’s led a new programme here at LSJS called Iyun, our highest level women’s learning programme, teaching women hilchot kashrut and now hilchot brachot. She’s really bringing opportunities to women in the UK that didn’t exist before, and it’s been a real privilege for me personally to have been able to connect our LSJS community to her.
Surale’s also a certified Rabbinical Arbitrator, and she teaches Midrash, Talmud and Halacha. She’s invested in communal service on both local and national levels, and participates in the joint project of the UK Foreign Ministry and Search for Common Ground, in which leading Muslim and Jewish figures create a basis for religious dialogue in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
We discuss access to Torah scholarship for women, and also what October 7 has meant for Surale’s ongoing relationships with Muslim leaders and the different, more fundamental questions she now feels she needs to ask.
