Talmudic Tales Brought to Life 📖 “A young woman on her way to becoming one of the more outstanding Jewish thinkers of the next generation” (Haaretz)

I went on the @pardesinstitute parasha podcast to discuss God's call to Abraham, faith during dark times, Abraham Joshua heschel, R. Jonathan Sacks, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Liza Minnelli. https://t.co/0zGAlSfOdH

Why is the Bible so afraid of love? Who were the lovers who saved the Jewish People? And how do the rabbis deconstruct one of the greatest love stories of their time?
A special Tu B'Av conversation with @justinpines of @JBSTVORG💗

One year ago, The Madwoman in the Rabbi's Attic came out. It’s been so exciting to see it take its first steps in the world, cheered on by so many of you. Thank you to everyone who read, recommended, rated, and reached out (and to the parents who sent me this perfect picture)❤️

When @NahanniRous of @jwaonline asked me which ushpiza I'd like to invite into my sukka, I immediately thought of Homa – Mehoza's notorious black widow, and perhaps the most misunderstood woman of the Talmud.

With all the madness (get it?) surrounding the High Holidays, I never posted that @benrothke of @JLinkExpanded has selected 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶'𝘀 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗰 as one of the five best books of 5784. Honored to be in such august company.

Last week I went on @710WOR. @batchelorshow & @MHoenlein asked me about the Talmud, its centrality to Judaism, and its relevance in the 21st century - and gave me 10 minutes to answer. Still catching my breath😛 https://t.co/VGvGtOxsts

[Gila Fine @GilaFine]

Discussing his recent review of my book in Tradition, R. Yitzi Blau and I talked about our mutual love of rabbinic stories, what it means to read them as a woman (or a man), and why it’s never been more exciting to be an aggadist than today. https://t.co/gqYTH5Bm1b

[Gila Fine @GilaFine]

“We reached out to Gila to discuss her new, much-acclaimed book. This is a conversation about Gila and her book, but it is also a conversation about Israel – and the ways in which some forms of Jewish flourishing are possible only here.” (@DanielGordis)

"Fine’s delightful book... dishes up Greek mythology and medicine, midrashim, modern movies, and everything in between. This seemingly esoteric book is more compelling than any novel. I couldn’t put it down." (Pam Peled, The Jerusalem Report)

[Gila Fine @GilaFine]

"Gila Fine’s 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶’𝘀 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗰 carries the rare distinction of breaking new ground in two very different arenas, the rabbinic view of women and the tools of aggadic interpretation." (Yitzchak Blau, Tradition)

I want @miriamanzovin's review on my book jacket, f-bombs and all 🙂

[Gila Fine @GilaFine]

I sat down with the @TimesofIsrael to talk about 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶’𝘀 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗰, the religious struggle that preceded it, and why I hardly ever use the f-word (feminism).
