The Regendered Bible, Toratah, reimagines ancient stories by reversing the genders of all characters, placing women at the center of the sacred narrative and introducing men into the domestic sphere.
The Regendered Bible seeks to grant women full agency within the sacred texts, inspire spiritual and religious creativity, and invite a dynamic exploration of theology.
Israeli-American artist Yael Kanarek is the founder of BeitToratah.org, an initiative that reimagines the Biblical narrative by placing women at the center and inviting men into the domestic sphere through the regendering of all characters. This fresh lens on Scripture encourages new perspectives on gender, power, and leadership, offering a deeper exploration of ancient traditions and their relevance today. It also opens a space for renewed spiritual and theological reflection, inspiring deeper engagement with sacred texts. Since 2016, Toratah-meaning "Her Torah"-has built a vibrant community in both the US and Israel, contributing to its ongoing development.
