Adriana M. Brodsky, PhD, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, HBI Scholar in Residence This presentation will focus on the ways that participation in Argentina’s Zionist youth groups from the 1940s to the 1970s changed the lives of young women. Sephardi young women, whose lives had been limited to the home and family, became active public figures within their communities, assuming the roles of teachers, public speakers, researchers, and counselors to younger children. These young women learned new skills as they embarked on organizing lectures, researching topics, and venturing outside the homes. The youth groups also exposed young women to novel ideas like sex education and free love, which affected their understanding of family traditions, creating conflicts with their parents and community leaders. Those who moved to Israel found kibbutz family life challenging to their new and old customs. By registering for this event, you give permission to receive periodic emails about other events from HBI.
