Dr. Jodi EichlerLevine to speak at biennial Hadassah Sabbath By Sandy Wruble Congregation Brith Sholom The Bethlehem/Easton group of Hadassah will sponsor a Hadassah Sabbath at Congregation Brith Sholom on Saturday, May 6. This group is part of the larger Philadelphia chapter and traditionally holds a special Hadassah Sabbath every other year. The guest speaker will be Dr. Jodi Eichler-Levine, the Philip and Muriel Berman Professor of Jewish Civilization and associate professor of religion studies at Lehigh University. She holds a Ph.D. in religion from Columbia University and a bachelor of arts in Near Eastern and Judaic studies from Brandeis University. Eichler-Levine has authored several books; her most recent book is “Suffer the Little Children: Uses of the Past in Jewish and African American Children’s Literature.” Dr. Eichler-Levine’s topic for the May 6 service is titled “Crafting Judaism: Jewish Women and Creativity.” She will use a mix of sociology, history and literary analysis to explore Jewish women’s experiences and how they contribute to the texture of American Jewish life. Services begin at 9 a.m., and there will be a kiddush lunch following. The community is invited to attend this special Shabbat.
