Hardback. Condition: Good. An Inspiration to All Who Struggle for Religious and Gender EqualityOur souls yearn to pray, in peace, in the sacred place, to read from our holy Torah, together with other Jewish women.--from the In Israel today, the historic Western Wall, known as the Kotel, a holy site for Jewish people, is under the religious authority of the Orthodox rabbinate. Women have only limited rights to practice Jewish ritual in its precincts. This passionate book documents the legendary grassroots and legal struggle of a determined group of Jewish women from Israel, the United States, and other parts of the world--known as the Women of the Wall--to win the right to pray out loud together as a group, according to Jewish law; wear ritual objects; and read from Torah scrolls at the Western Wall. Eyewitness accounts of physical violence and intimidation, inspiring personal stories, and interpretations of legal and classical Jewish (halakhic) texts bring to life the historic and ongoing struggle that the Women of the Wall face in their everyday fight for religious and gender equality.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Daughters of the King explains women's involvement in and around the synagogue from its antecedents in the biblical period to contemporary times. The role of women in the synagogue is the most timely but potentially divisive issue within all branches of Judaism. The Orthodox community is deeply concerned about the innovation of women's prayer groups. The Conservative movement is facing its greatest challenge from within as a result of its decision to ordain women. The Reform and Reconstructionist movements are struggling with the inclusion of a feminine element in traditional male-oriented liturgy and non-male references to God. Susan Grossman and Rivka Haut have added their experiences and studies to those of other scholars and religious thinkers to demonstrate the historical diversity of women's roles in Judaism, to record first-person accounts of the innovative practices now being introduced for and by women throughout the Jewish community, and to ponder these new realities in order to glimpse the religious life of Jewish women in the future. The contributors, many on the cutting edge of these changes, are drawn from the entire spectrum of Jewish affairs and denominational affiliation; they represent an interdisciplinary approach to the issues, drawing from history, anthropology, sociology, medieval studies, women's studies, Jewish law, the Bible, the Talmud, and rabbinic thought. This book will be of interest to lay readers and scholars alike, to Jews and Christians, feminists, synagogue leaders, and clergy. The book can be used as a study guide; it will encourage women to achieve a greater and more active participation in all aspects of synagogue life. It also provides primarysource material for anyone interested in women and religion, women and faith, and the ways in which women have functioned politically in religious communities throughout history.…
