~Teaching~
“The Jewish Monster Manual” with Hillel International
(October 2021)
“From the larger-than-life Leviathan to the smaller-than-small Shamir, Olivia Devorah Tucker introduces us to a magical menagerie from Jewish Lore! What can our legendary creatures teach us about ancestral imagination? How can we see and utilize these fantasies in our lives?”
“Women in Talmud: Who Would You Be in the Third Century?” with Rodef Shalom Congregation (June 2023)
“Hairdressers, professional mourners, and magical healers find their spotlight in a new presentation from scholar Olivia Devorah Tucker. How does our Talmud – the conversations of the first generations of Rabbis – discuss the lives of women over 1500 years ago? What experiences are timeless? Which lost practices could enhance our lives today?”
