Real Housewives of the Bible, The Whole Truth About the First Wives Club

If you enjoy reality shows with desperate housewives, you are in for a treat with the hopes, challenges, mischief, and failures of the Real Housewives of the Bible. Due to popular demand, this fun yet educational series will resume with nine new women of the bible at American Jewish University, beginning Thursday October eleventh at 7:30PM. Under the guidance of esteemed rabbis from our community, these classes will offer enlightening glimpses into the varied personalities and issues of our feminine forbearers.
October 11, Rabbi Sharon Brous of IKAR will discuss Eve/Lilith, who was the first housewife of the bible or was it Lilith?
October 18 Rabbi Elliot Dorff, Rector at AJU, will discuss Zipporah, who married Moses before saving his life.
October 25 Rabbi Sharon Brous of IKAR will discuss Devorah/Yael, who outshined their husbands to change the history of the Jewish people.
November 1 Dr. Robert Wexler, President of AJU, will discuss Hannah, a sad housewife who, more than anything, wants a child.
November 8 Rabbi David Woznica of Stephen S. Wise Temple will discuss Rachel, the beautiful wife of Jacob, who proved to be much more powerful than others around her ever thought possible.
November 15 Rabbi Judith HaLevy of Malibu Jewish Center & Synagogue will discuss Dinah and the Real Red Tent Story.
