View Larger Image Red Tent Anita Diamant ISBN: 9781559276450 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Publication Date: 2001 Her name is Dinah. In the Bible her life is only hinted at during a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters about her father, Jacob, and his dozens of sons in the Book of Genesis. Told through Dinah's eloquent voice, this sweeping novel reveals the traditions and turmoil of ancient womanhood. Dinah's tale begins with the story of her mothers: Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah, the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that are to sustain her through a hard-working youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah tells us of the world of the red tent, the place where women were sequestered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and illness; of her initiations into the religious and sexual practices of her tribe; of Jacob's courtship with his four wives; of the mystery and wonder of caravans, farmers, shepherds, and slaves; of love and death in the city of Shechem; and of her half-brother Joseph's rise in Egypt. Passionate, earthy, deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable contribution to modern fiction: a vibrant new perspective of female life in the age that shaped our civilization and our values.

Diamant explains the wisdom encoded in the ancient prayer of Kaddish -- providing Contemporay alternatives as well as traditional versions -- and guides the reader through Jewish practices that attend the end of life, from the sick room to the funeral. She walks us through a Jewish year of mourning, giving detailed instructions for the rituals of Shiva, Yizkor, and Yahrzeit, while paying careful attention to the emotional toll of loss and bereavement.
