In this interactive session, Rabbi Helen Plotkin will lead a discussion of the texts that have been available for study in the Beit Midrash throughout the day on Sunday. (See the session Beit Midrash 1.) Those who have had a chance to prepare by working through the texts earlier in the day will ask questions and offer interpretations. All are welcome to participate as together we uncover the range of biblical and rabbinic perspectives on the problematic story of Sodom and Gomorrah found in Chapter 19 of Genesis.
