Check out Tablet’s podcast on Alicia Jo Rabins’ new project Girls in Trouble: “Vox Tablet host Sara Ivry speaks with Rabins in her Brooklyn apartment about betrayal, exile in the desert, loneliness, and seduction, as experienced by the likes of Bat Yiftach (Jephthah’s daughter), Miriam, and Tamar.”
The sounds is Indie Rock with lyrics based on the Bible, and the project began as Rabins’ masters thesis for a degree in Jewish Women’s Studies at JTS. Interesting.
Some random words of wisdom from poet-scholar-musician Rabins, in the context of relating Jephtah’s daughter’s story: “If you can live away from your family for two months, you never have to go back.”
