SUMMARY:YINR - Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies to Bring Dr. Yael La
 ndman via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Women’s Initiative for Jewish Studies (WIJS) at Young Israel
  of New Rochelle is proud to present Dr. Yael Landman on Tuesday\, Novembe
 r 17\, 2026 @ 8:30 pm (ET) on Zoom.  Dr. Landman will be the second speak
 er of the 2026-2027 season in the monthly scholarly programming offered by
  WIJS at YINR.\n\nDr. Landman’s lecture is entitled\, “Anatomy of a Pu
 nishment: What Happens to the Sotah in Numbers 5?”   Numbers 5 introdu
 ces the case of the sotah\, a woman whose husband jealously accuses her of
  adultery but lacks the necessary evidence to prove it. The woman undergoe
 s one of the Torah’s most unusual rituals\, and exactly what she experie
 nces if proven guilty is notoriously difficult to understand. This lecture
  focuses on what happens to the body of the sotah when the ritual determin
 es her guilt. We will consider the meanings of the particular bodily punis
 hment she experiences and how it fits with biblical ideas about women\, bo
 dies\, shame\, and punishment.\n\nYael Landman is Assistant Professor of B
 ible at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Her first book\, Legal Writing\, 
 Legal Practice: The Biblical Bailment Law and Divine Justice (Brown Judaic
  Studies\, 2022)\, received the Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theologi
 cal Promise in 2024. Prior to her position at JTS\, Landman taught at the 
 University of Pennsylvania\, Yeshiva University\, and the Drisha Institute
 . She also served as Acquisitions Editor at Gorgias Press and has held fel
 lowships at New York University School of Law\, the Herbert D. Katz Center
  at the University of Pennsylvania\, and Brooklyn College. Landman holds a
