Review:
One of the first graduates of Nishmat's Keren Ariel Program as a Yoetzet Halacha (Women's Halachic Advisor), Deena has written a number of articles related to women's health issues and Jewish law and lectures extensively on Medicine, Women's Health and Jewish Law and Jewish Medical Ethics. In addition, Deena directs Nishmat's Women's Health and Halachic websites for the general public and for health-care providers. She lives in Israel with her husband Rabbi Sammy Zimmerman and their five children.
...there has long been a need for an intelligently-written guide and introduction to hilchot niddah, a book which would fill the void between the overly-concise practical manuals and the extensive, scholarly expositions of the subject. Furthermore, reference to modern medical knowledge and techniques bearing on menstruation, contraception, etc., is essential.
Dr. Deena Zimmerman is uniquely qualified to write such a book. She is Jewishly learned, having twice completed the daf yomi cycle of the Talmud, part of which she taught in a daily sheur. She is a certified consultant in the field of taharat hamishpachah, one of the first graduates of the Keren Ariel Yoatzot Halacha program of Nishmat in Jerusalem. It was my pleasure to have been among the panel of rabbis who tested her upon completion of the program. In her work as a yoetzet halacha, she has had invaluable practical experience in addressing other women's questions and understanding their concerns. She is also a practicing physician (in pediatrics), and formerly an assistant professor in a medical school. She is, of course, a wife and a mother. The combination of knowledge and scholarship, experience, empathy and understanding she brings to this topic should help ensure A Lifetime Companion to the Laws of Jewish Family Life a place on the bookshelf of every modern woman committed to Halacha. --from the Foreword by Rabbi Yehuda Henkin
This is a remarkable volume by a remarkable woman. The author, a highly regarded pediatrician and a scholar of Talmud -- one of the very first of a new type that is felicitously emerging in our generation -- here offers a comprehensive volume on Jewish ''family purity,'' the conventional euphemism for the laws governing menstruation. It covers the gamut of one of the principal precepts of Judaism, both theory and practice. Ultimately, therefore, it is a book about enhancing the quality of Jewish family life.
This volume is an authoritative treatment of the subject, by one of the first graduates of Nishmat, and should prove invaluable to all who cherish the wholeness of the bond between husband and wife and the holiness of Torah Judaism. --Rabbi Norman Lamm, Chancellor of Yeshiva University and Rosh Hayeshiva of RIETS
Dr. Deena Zimmerman brings to this volume an extraordinary range of talents, as an MD, a scholar of Talmud, and a certified yoetzet halacha, one of the first graduates of Nishmat's historic Keren Ariel Program. She is also the creator and coordinator of Nishmat's Women's Online Information Center on taharat hamishpachah and related medical questions.
This brilliant book encompasses the worlds of both Jewish Law and medicine. A halachic guide to the laws of taharat hamishpachah written by a woman, in close consultation with rabbinic authorities -- what could be more natural and practical than such a book? This outstanding volume deserves to be on every Jewish couple's bookshelf. --Chana Henkin, Dean, Nishmat, The Jerusalem Center for Advanced Torah Study for Women
