Wasserman, Mira

Mira Beth Wasserman teaches rabbinic literature at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where she directs the Center for Jewish Ethics and is serving as interim dean. She is the author of Jews, Gentiles, and Other Animals: The Talmud after the Humanities. A co-edited volume on Modern Jewish Ethics is forthcoming from the Brandeis Library of Modern Jewish Thought. Her interest in slavery in rabbinic sources and scholarship grew out of her interest in race, identity, and Jewish ethics.
