A great heaviness was lifted from me as I read Rabbi Labowitz's words. By analyzing the original words of the Bible and world history, she interprets the Bible as a book that is finally as applicable to women as it is to men. Her version of Adam and Eve alone brings such a sense of joy, and of relief. Men and women will both benefit from Rabbi Labowitz's wisdom.

Labowitz's book accomplishes what so many attempt - she eloquently weaves the emotionalism of personal testimony with VERY well-researched and academically sound biblical commentary. What is brilliant about this book is that she doesn't get lost in either direction. The personal and the political - from a religious viewpoint - are commingled to share a new view of Judaism (and patriarchally framed religions as a whole). The effects are no less than revolutionary. I have met her several times and she is just as magickal in person as on paper.

I devour this book. I became a new woman after reading the insights of Shoni. I can express my gratitud for this book. I can see my life from another perspective and a new attitud about femenine sexuality. Bravo!!!
A most read for women who whish to be empowered.
