> Dr. Zornberg describes her presentation as follows: “Joseph dreams provocative
> dreams; his brothers' hatred grows because of them; Jacob apparently dismisses
> them. But according to Freud, all dreams contain a 'navel,' a spot that defies
> understanding, that 'reaches into the unknown.' In the midrash, that
> unfathomable element in the lives of Jacob and Joseph is represented by Rachel,
> the 'unknown woman' in their narrative. Literature, film, and psychoanalytic
> thought will enrich our study.”
> 
> Sponsored by the Institute for Sacred Music and the Slifka Center.
