Delphine Horvilleur (French pronunciation: [dɛlfin ɔʁvilœʁ]; born 8 November 1974) is France's third female rabbi, and (as of 2012) editorial director of the quarterly Jewish magazine Revue de pensée(s) juive(s) Tenou'a. [1] [2] [3] [4] She leads a congregation in Paris, and is currently co-leading the Liberal Jewish Movement of France, a Jewish liberal cultural and religious association affiliated to the World Union for Progressive Judaism, which she joined in 2008. [5] [6] In 2013 her book En tenue d’Eve. Féminin, Pudeur et Judaïsme (In a Birthday Suit: Feminism, Modesty and Judaism), which discusses the representation of nudity and modesty in the Bible, was published. [1]
Horvilleur was born and raised in Nancy, then moved to Jerusalem at the age of 17 and studied life sciences at the Hebrew University. [1] Five years later, she came back to Paris and worked as a journalist. [1] She studied with well-known Jewish scholars, such as French philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin and ex- Chief Rabbi Gilles Bernheim, and eventually moved to New York and studied at Drisha Yeshiva. [1] She was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York in 2008, and later returned to France. [6] In 2016, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem awarded her a special commendation. [7]
In 2009, Horvilleur became editor-in-chief of Tenou'a, a quarterly journal published by the Tenou'a association from the Liberal Jewish Movement of France. It makes it a reference magazine of liberal Jewish thought in France, where various religious sensibilities are found around societal issues (feminism, environment, sexuality, migration policy, etc.). [8]
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Horvilleur became known for her weekly online Zoom talks on Jewish texts. Her popular lectures were attended by a variety of people outside of the Jewish community. [9]
Horvilleur is married to Ariel Weil, mayor of the Paris Centre arrondissement. They have three children. [10]
