Reflections on Tamar and Judah

In this biblical story, daughter-in-law Tamar takes matters into her own hands when her father-in-law Judah refuses to obey local law and custom. Tamar’s gutsy action makes her a grandmother of kings, and Judah grows in empathy. Rabbi Laura Duhan Kaplan will present a guest sermon (dvar Torah) exploring this story and its contemporary relevance.
