SUMMARY:Lilith Unbound Session 2: Woman of the Wind
DESCRIPTION:For 3\,000\, Lilith has refused to walk any path but her own. F
 rom Mesopotamian myth to the Garden of Eden\, from Jewish folklore to mode
 rn music and story\,&nbsp\;Lilith's voice still grows in power. Vilified a
 s a demon and a seductress\, she has also been reclaimed as a potent symbo
 l of resistance and resilience.\n\nIn this three-part series\, we’ll fol
 low&nbsp\;Lilith through ancient myth\, rabbinic midrash\, kabbalistic vis
 ions\, folktales\, and feminist theology. We'll also seek her voice in mod
 ern art\, music\, and speculative fiction.&nbsp\; Across the millennia\,&n
 bsp\;Lilith still unsettles and inspires\, inviting us to imagine new ways
  of claiming our own voice and freedom. Register here. This class is free 
 for Beth El members and $36 for guests.&nbsp\;\n\nNEXT:\n\nClass 2 — Thu
 rsday\, Nov. 20 at 7:30pm — Source Sheet\nThe Woman of the Wind\n\nLilit
 h&nbsp\;takes flight in medieval stories as Adam’s first wife\, refusing
  to submit and choosing her own destiny.&nbsp\; Vilified as a child-steale
 r and seductress\, she emerges in Kabbalah as the dark counterpart to the 
 Shechinah (God's indwelling\, feminized presence).&nbsp\; Through folktale
 s\, mysticism and art\, we’ll see how&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;embodied both t
 error and fascination\, while hinting at hidden wisdom and power.\n\nUPCOM
 ING:\n\nClass 3 — Date to be announced\nThe Woman of the World\n\nModern
  voices reclaim&nbsp\;Lilith as far more than a demon: she becomes a symbo
 l of feminist defiance\, queer identity\, and spiritual resistance. From R
 omantic poetry to Judith Plaskow’s The Coming of&nbsp\;Lilith\, from the
  cover of&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;Magazine to music and art\, we’ll encounter
 &nbsp\;Lilith as a figure who unsettles\, inspires\, and empowers. What do
 es&nbsp\;Lilith’s story reveal about us today?\n\nPREVIOUS:&nbsp\;\n\nCL
 ASS 1 — Thursday\, Nov. 6 at 7:30\nThe Woman of the Wild\n\nWe begin wit
 h&nbsp\;Lilith’s earliest appearance in the Epic of Gilgamesh\, then fol
 low her path into Rabbinic thought and mystical literature. How did this 
 “wild woman” come to embody a threat to cultural norms and power struc
 tures?&nbsp\; From ancient myth to magical amulets\, we’ll explore how a
 nxieties around sex\, violence\, and female power gave rise to one of hist
 ory’s most enduring mythic figures.
