In September the focus was on Poll Chaplains The Poll Chaplain program is a collaboration between the Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign and the Wisconsin Council of Churches. We assign interfaith Chaplains to polling locations throughout the state on election day to provide a peaceful presence. We are currently in the process of recruiting new Chaplains so instead of a regular interview, this week we we will hear the audio from the webinar so you can hear more about the program and see if it could be a fit for you.

  Radical Readings with Rabbi Caryn Broitman

  Aug 4, 202632 min

  Rabbi Caryn Broitman has served as rabbi of the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center since 2003. She is a graduate of Harvard University in the Comparative Study of Religion, and received her Rabbinical Ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. She has been a Senior Educators Fellow at the Melton Center of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a Daniel Jeremy Silver Fellow at the Center for Jewish Studies, Harvard University. She is a regular contributor to Moment Magazine and a sought-after speaker on multi-faith topics, and her work has been featured on NPR and WMVY Radio. She lives on Martha’s Vineyard. The Torah Is an Open Book: Radical Readings for the Seeker and the Skeptic is a response to conservative or literalist voices who have used Scripture to exclude, shame, and silence others, leading many to disregard the text altogether. She invites readers of all backgrounds – religious, secular, or simply spiritual – to engage with the Bible as a living conversation. Drawing on centuries of Jewish commentary and her own experience as a congregational rabbi, Broitman shows how even the most difficult or obscure passages can become sources of insight, justice, and connection when read through the lens of midrash.
