The Women’s Rabbinic Network held its biennial convention this week in Beverly, Massachusetts. The conference theme was “Sacred Empowerment,” and about 160 rabbis attended, some in person and other virtually. Rabbi Deborah Bodin Cohen, an editor at Behrman House and Apples & Honey Press, was pleased to attend and meet with many of our authors.
One evening featured Rabbi Sally Priesand, the first woman ordained a rabbi in the United States, reading Sally Opened Doors, which is a picture book about her life, written by Rabbi Sandy Sasso. Afterward, Priesand signed and personalized books.
