Dialogue | Nigun NashimElga Stulman Women’s Institute for Jewish Studies enables women from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds to explore their identity as Jewish-Israeli women, simultaneously strengthening their Jewish connection, their feminist perspective and their sense of solidarity. Nigun Nashim participants are in the vanguard of Israel’s Jewish renaissance, helping to create a pluralistic Jewish cultural and spiritual landscape. Nigun Nashim programming is a synthesis of Torah study, modern Israeli-Jewish culture and contemporary feminist theory. The variety of perspectives provides fertile ground for women to find wider meaning in their personal narratives, critique the status quo and re-imagine their own place in Israeli society.
