by Elyse Goldstein (Editor)

Description

"Growing up in the 1960s, the notion of a woman rabbi, a woman Israeli Supreme Court judge, an Orthodox female Talmud scholar, or an Orthodox synagogue where women read the Torah from their side of the mechitzah were impossible, even ridiculous scenarios. Yet in the modern day, all of this is reaching the stage of "normative." What's left for Jewish feminism to accomplish?" "Join Jewish women from all areas of Jewish life as they examine what makes a "Jewish woman" today, how feminism has show more affected her identity and whether the next generation of Jewish women is braced to tackle the challenging work still ahead."--Jacket. show less
