When history becomes a story that touches our lives
I love discovering the people behind history and turning knowledge and research into a living, thought-provoking human encounter.
The lecture
The Jewish Writer History Forgot
The story of Grace Aguilar, and the journey that brought her back to life.
Who was the young Jewish writer who dared to raise an independent voice in 19th-century England?
It is an encounter about women, heritage and identity, and about how a story from the past can open a new perspective on the present.

From the field
A great lecture: fascinating and deeply moving.
Maya Spielman lectured here on her new book "Ahavat Netzach Imahit", research in which she uncovered a mid-19th-century woman who wrote for women about the women of the Bible. The background story, the story of Grace Aguilar herself, and the content and approach to the women of the Bible were all fascinating.
