SUMMARY:Lilith Unbound Session 3: Woman of the World
DESCRIPTION:For three thousand years\,&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;has refused to wa
 lk any path but her own.&nbsp\; From Mesopotamian myth to the Garden of Ed
 en\, from Jewish folklore to modern music and story\,&nbsp\;Lilith's voice
  still grows in power.&nbsp\; Vilified as a demon and a seductress\, she h
 as also been reclaimed as a potent symbol of resistance and resilience.\n\
 nIn this three-part series\, we’ll follow&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;through anc
 ient myth\, rabbinic midrash\, kabbalistic visions\, folktales\, and femin
 ist theology.&nbsp\; We'll also seek her voice in modern art\, music\, and
  speculative fiction.&nbsp\; Across the millennia\,&nbsp\;Lilith still uns
 ettles 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 a
 nd $36 for guests.&nbsp\;\n\nNEXT:\n\nCLASS 3 - Thursday\, 12/4 at 7:30\nT
 he Woman of the World\nModern voices reclaim&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;as far mor
 e than a demon: she becomes a symbol of feminist defiance\, queer identity
 \, and spiritual resistance.&nbsp\; From Romantic poetry to Judith Plaskow
 ’s The Coming of&nbsp\;Lilith\, from the cover of&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;Mag
 azine to music and art\, we’ll encounter&nbsp\;Lilith&nbsp\;as a figure 
 who unsettles\, inspires\, and empowers.&nbsp\; What does&nbsp\;Lilith’s
  story reveal about us today? &nbsp\;Click here for study material.\nPREVI
 OUS:&nbsp\;\n\nCLASS 1 - Thursday\, 11/6 at 7:30\nThe Woman of the Wild\n\
 nWe begin with&nbsp\;Lilith’s earliest appearance in the Epic of Gilgame
 sh\, then follow her path into Rabbinic thought and mystical literature. H
 ow did this “wild woman” come to embody a threat to cultural norms and
  power structures?&nbsp\; From ancient myth to magical amulets\, we’ll e
 xplore how anxieties around sex\, violence\, and female power gave rise to
  one of history’s most enduring mythic figures.\n\nCLASS 2 - Thursday\, 
 11/20 at 7:30\nThe Woman of the Wind\n\nLilith&nbsp\;takes flight in medie
 val stories as Adam’s first wife\, refusing to submit and choosing her o
 wn destiny.&nbsp\; Vilified as a child-stealer and seductress\, she emerge
 s in Kabbalah as the dark counterpart to the Shechinah (God's indwelling\,
  feminized presence).&nbsp\; Through folktales\, mysticism and art\, we’
 ll see how&nbsp\;Lilith embodied both terror and fascination\, while hinti
 ng at hidden wisdom and power.
