Caryn Broitman is the Rabbi at Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center. Reading scripture is an important part of her life. Her new book is titled The Torah is an Open Book, Radical Readings for the Seeker and the Skeptic. We talk with Rabbi Broitman about the Torah and her belief that discussion of the text is a space for transformation, and moral courage, where questioning, wrestling, and interpreting are not only allowed – it’s sacred.
