WBI Kick-Off Event

Fifty Shades of Talmud
What the First Rabbis Had to Say about You-Know-What

Keynote Speaker
Maggie Anton

Amusing, seductive, stimulating. We’re talking about the Talmud?  That’s right. Take fifty actual Talmudic discussions mixed with pithy sayings (appropriate and inappropriate) by luminaries from Mae West and Amy Schumer to George Washington and Gandhi, add a few cartoons, and voila! You will come away with a new perspective on what the ancient Jewish sages say about our most intimate relationships. In this lighthearted, in-depth tour of Sexuality in the Talmud, come eavesdrop at the first rabbis’ locker-room door as they discuss every aspect of sexual relations – how, when, where, with whom – often in startling explicitly fashion. Author Maggie Anton reveals how Jewish Tradition is more progressive in many respects, and bawdier than one might think.
