| Summary |
"This collection celebrates 23 biblical women, from the familiar Sarah, Ruth, and Esther, to the more mysterious Hatzlelponi (mother of Samson) and the unnamed "Wife of Ovadiah." Based on the 13th-century Yemenite Midrash ba-Gadol (literally, the Great Midrash) - a work only partially translated into English and, until now, virtually unknown to Jews - this new volume presents stories, commentaries, original monologues, and discussion topics for readers that touch upon the lives of Jewish women today."--BOOK JACKET |
