The Charlotte Jewish News - November 2010 - Page 19 Women’s News Racelle Weiman on The Power of Jewish Womanhood The Charlotte Chapter of Hadassah orchestrated a thought provoking lecture in October “The Power of Jewish Womanhood: Stories that Transform and Inspire” by Dr. Racelle Weiman, the Senior Director for Global Education at the Dialogue Institute of Temple University. “The Power of Jewish Womanhood” was intended as a response to inquiries by women of varying ethnic backgrounds to explore a specifically woman’s way to transform the world—and, in particular, the Jewish woman. Those in attendance listen as Weiman weaved historic narra tives which illustrated this power She indicated that not only Racelle Weiman were women formidable in the Jewish resistance movements across Nazi Europe, as well as at the forefront of all social change and civil rights movements across the world including South Africa, Europe, Americas. Weiman reminds us that out of the 40 women which have received the Nobel Price seven were Jewish - most notably in the sciences. She pointed out how Jewish women have exerted a great influence on society in a multitude of areas, including in music, art, cinema, literature and theater. The vast evidence of an expressly “Jewish Woman’s Power” astonished and inspired the audience at Temple Israel and likely motivated the new genera tion of empowered women in attendance. Racelle Weiman, Ph.D. holds a B.A. in Jewish Studies from UCLA and M.A. and Ph.D. from Temple University in Interreligious Studies. She received accreditation at the Truman Peace Institute at Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Post doc toral research at the Fletcher School of Diplomacy at Tufts University in ethnic conflict reso lution and the Program on Negotiation at Harvard University. Previously, she was founding Director of the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Ohio. Author of several textbooks. Dr. Weiman served on the faculty of the University of Haifa, Israel. ^ DAS SAH ® Hadassah Celebrates Sukkot with “Sushi in the Sukkah” Sukkot inspired our local Hadassah chapter to bring a new dynamic event to Charlotte “Sushi in the Sukkah.” By blending Japanese culinary creativity with traditional festivities, over 50 women undeterred by rain, cele brated the season of our rejoicing at the Levine-Sklut Judaic Library and Resource Center. The evening kicked off with a joyous Sukkot observance the “Four Species Ceremony.” Complete with the traditional four species which are willow branches (aravot), myrtle branches (hadas- sim), palm branch (lulav) and cit ron (etrog) were waved in all six DAS S/^ directions while a blessing was recited. Next, an interactive cooking demonstration led by Sushi 101 restaurant chef created a fun and delicious challenge. He inspired and aided attendees to leam how to create custom made sushi rolls.
