Mother’s Milk: A conversation with Deena Aranoff and Elissa Strauss

 

In celebration of Mother’s Day, please join us in taking a deep dive into the critical role of family relations and maternal care in the history of the Jews. Deena Aranoff will share insights from her new book, Mother’s Milk, a book that explores the central place of the household in Jewish history. She will be joined in conversation by writer Elissa Strauss, whose book about care brings the essential and spiritual dimensions of care from the margins to the center of the human story.
