Radical Readings with Rabbi Caryn Broitman

Rabbi Caryn Broitman has served as rabbi of the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center since 2003. She is a graduate of Harvard University in the
Comparative Study of Religion, and received her Rabbinical Ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. She has been a Senior
Educators Fellow at the Melton Center of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a Daniel Jeremy Silver Fellow at the Center for Jewish Studies
Harvard University. She is a regular contributor to Moment Magazine and a sought-after speaker on multi-faith topics, and her work has been
featured on NPR and WMVY Radio. She lives on Martha’s Vineyard.

The Torah Is an Open Book: Radical Readings for the Seeker and the Skeptic is a response to conservative or literalist voices who have use
Scripture to exclude, shame, and silence others, leading many to disregard the text altogether. She invites readers of all backgrounds – religious,
secular, or simply spiritual – to engage with the Bible as a living conversation.
Drawing on centuries of Jewish commentary and her own experience as a congregational rabbi, Broitman shows how even the most difficult or
obscure passages can become sources of insight, justice, and connection when read through the lens of midrash.
