This review is from: The Voice of Sarah: Feminine Spirituality and Traditional Judaism (Paperback)

Tamar Frankiel has taught comparative religion at Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Princeton and is observant. Her well-reasoned book takes the reader on a journey that begins with an examination of women in the Torah. It continues by exploring female rhythms in the holidays, suggests what is to be gained by observing the holidays and daily mitzvoth, and finally undertakes a discussion of feminist issues. While she argues for an acceptance of traditional Jewish and female values, she also provides many fingerholds to women searching for meaning in Jewish ritual and observance and addresses the need for further development of feminine perspectives in Judaism. The book is well-written and a delight to read.
