    The Jewish Myth of Prometheus

    Dr. Rachel Adelman, professor of Hebrew Bible and Rabbinics at Miami University, Ohio, completed her PhD in Hebrew Literature (with a specialty in Midrash) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. For ten years, she taught at Matan (The Sadie Rennert Women’s Institute for Torah Study) and other venues in Jerusalem, and has lectured widely in North America and England. She has published numerous academic articles, and recently published a book on the midrash Pirqe deRabbi Eliezer. She also writes a monthly column, Kol Isha, for the Jerusalem Post. When she is not writing books, articles, or Divrei Torah, it is poetry that flows from her pen.
