Film: Praying in Her Own Voice (60 minutes)

Wednesday, June 9

$10/$8 members 

This powerful film documents the courageous struggle of the "Women at
the Wall" movement. For the past decade they have challenged the
government of Israel and the entire Jewish world by focusing on the
Western Wall-the holiest site for Jews where women are not allowed to
gather and pray. Shulamit Magnus, Associate Professor of Jewish Studies
at Oberlin College leads a post-viewing discussion.

Culture

Dr. Bren Ortega Murphy, Associate Professor of Communications at Loyola
University, Chicago, examines the wide variety of visual images of
Catholic nuns and sisters used in contemporary U.S. popular culture. Dr.
Murphy contrasts these images with the real lives of historical and
contemporary women religious.
