In her latest book, Maggie Anton once again uses her love of Talmud to share Rabbinic conversations about sex – the how, when, where and with whom. The author will join us on Thursday night, November 3, 2016 at 7:00pm in the Sanctuary to talk about her latest book: Fifty Shades of Talmud and her study of the Rabbinic conversations that she highlights inside.

Maggie Anton was born Margaret Antonofsky in Los Angeles, California, where she still resides. Raised in a secular, socialist household, she reached adulthood with little knowledge of her Jewish religion. All that changed when David Parkhurst, who was to become her husband, entered her life, and they both discovered Judaism as adults. That was the start of a lifetime of Jewish education, synagogue involvement, and ritual observance.

In 1992 Anton joined a women's Talmud class taught by Rachel Adler, (now a professor at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles). To her surprise, she fell in love with Talmud, a passion that has continued unabated for twenty years and has led to her other book series’, Rashi’s Daughters and Rav Hisda’s Daughter.
