RABBI MALKA DRUCKER

Rabbi Malka Drucker was ordained at the Academy for Jewish Religion in 1998 and has served Conservative, Reconstructionist and Reform Congregations.  She is the author of twenty books, including Rescuers: Portraits of Moral courage in the Holocaust and White Fire: A Portrait of Women in Spiritual Leaders in America.  Both are collaborations with photographer Gay Block.
 
Most recently Rabbi Malka has edited the newly released book Women in Judaism.  "This book represents a collection of women authors offering their fresh and audacious understanding of sacred text and old and new rituals. It reveals how Jewish women today are enlivening their ancient traditions."   For more information about Rabbi Malka's lectures and books, visit malkadrucker.com
