Two feminist scholars, a liberal rabbi and an ordained Lutheran minister, both well-versed in inter-religious dialogue, will from time to time conduct a conversation about their interpretations of shared texts. Dalia Marx of Israel and Ursula Rudnick of Germany invite you to participate with them in an on-line conversation about theology, feminism, and interpretation.
