On the occasion of the European Day of Jewish Culture, the Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation is organising the next conference of the Al-Andalus Chair, on this occasion, addressing the theme of Jewish women, from the Torah to the present day. This event will be held on Thursday 25 September, at 19.30, at the Foundation's headquarters, with the lecture The importance of the feminine in the Jewish worldby Pepa Rull, who will deal with the role of Jewish women in different areas of society and culture: women creators, women of legend, thinkers, scientists, feminists, women of state, etc.
Likewise, the speaker will focus on the most outstanding Jewish women, from Mary of Nazareth to Rita Levi, including Bienvenida Abravanel, Gracia Nasi, Hannah Arendt and Enma Lazarus.
Pepa Rull, a graduate in Economics from the Complutense University of Madrid, has developed her professional career in the national and international business world, directing innovative projects in the field of technology and cultural tourism. A student and lover of Jewish art and culture, she focuses her activity on these fields. She is currently launching the project Be! Sepharad!, (www.besepharad.net), focused on the recovery and dissemination of the Judeo-Spanish and Sephardic heritage in Andalusia, with a double orientation, cultural promotion and leisure on the one hand, as well as educational and training activities.
