The lecture on the parshanut of the Abarbanel this Thursday evening will be
given by
Dr. Bryna Jocheved Levy.
To give some indication of the privilege of hearing such a great torah
scholar,
here is an excerpt from her biography:

Dr. Bryna Jocheved Levy is one of the most esteemed Bible teachers in Israel
and throughout the world. She is also a leader in the movement for women's
Torah studies, and was the first woman awarded a doctoral degree in Biblical
Studies by Yeshiva University.

Dr. Levy teaches Bible at Matan: the Sadie Rennert Women's Institute for
Torah Studies in Jerusalem, a unique institution in the Jewish educational
scene, dedicated to advanced Judaic Studies for women. There she founded and
serves as the Dean of the Joan and Shael Bellows Joint Graduate Program in
Bible and Biblical Interpretation at Matan and Hebrew University's Melton
School of Jewish Education. This graduate teacher training program has
served to prepare a cadre of scholarly and inspired women who play
significant leadership roles in Jewish education. Dr. Levy is involved in
the curriculum planning, faculty selection, admissions, personal direction
of program participants, and academic lecturing.

Over the years, Dr. Levy has taught Bible at many well-known institutions,
including:
Midreshet Moriah, Jerusalem; the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish
Education, Yeshiva University; Michlala-Jerusalem College for Women; Touro
College, in the New York and Jerusalem campuses; Yeshiva University High
School for Girls, New York; as well as teaching Hebrew Language at McGill
University, Montreal, Canada.

Dr. Levy's advanced Bible classes, her stellar lectures world-wide, her
groundbreaking articles in the field of Bible, her recently released book,
Waiting for Rain, and her websites, are all dazzling examples of Torah
artistry at its best.

Dr. Levy is the mother of six and lives in Jerusalem.
