Purchase options and add-ons

This is an exceptional anthology of 24 stories about the women in the Bible. Drawing from the ancient tradition of midrash, the author brings to life the inner world and the experiences of these women, weaving rabbinic legends and her own imagination into the biblical texts. Readers will discover Lilith—not as the night demon alluded to in Isaiah, but as another aspect of Eve herself. Sarah is a moon priestess and as great a prophet as Abraham. Miriam is not merely a figure of song and dance, but also one of revelation, a source of Torah. These stories were written to give biblical women the honor they deserve—due to them as prophets, rulers, and teachers. The Introduction to Sisters at Sinai offers the rationale and the need for midrash - the writing in the margins - expressing how it can be liberating as well as deeply comforting. Perfect for women’s studies courses, adult study groups, confirmation classes and book groups.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected Treasure.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017

    This book is having a profound effect on me. I had expected it to be interesting and enjoyable, which it is; but I hadn't thought about it affecting my own beliefs. One example was reading The Daughters Of Tzelafchad. Although I had ordered the book new, a corner was folded at the top of the page at the beginning of the chapter. So, that is where I began reading. Even though I knew the story and the outcome, I felt myself holding my breath as each daughter described the anxiety awaiting her fate. When Milcah is the first to know of their victory, directly from Moses himself, she describes a heartfelt experience of being alone with this great prophet, that I felt myself envy. Her last line is - "I know from the ache in my chest that I will never be alone again." The second I read that, I had a thought, that if I could somehow manifest that ache within my own chest and repeat it everyday, I could bring about a change that I yearn for in my own life. I had never had a thought like that. It's obvious that Rabbi Hammer is a talented writer, but there is also something powerful and magical in her writing: at least there was for me. I can't wait to read her other books!

    Rabbi Hammer has discovered - and eloquently articulates - previously unrecorded incidents in the lives of Biblical women. These stories add depth and resonance to their lives and provide valuable insights about gaps in Genesis & Exodus. I laughed; I cried; and I am eager for more.

    I adore this book. As a Jew and a woman, this book resonates deeply. Each story is fairly short, but filled with gorgeous detail and supporting quotes/sources (the author also adds a list of further reading and a bibliography, which I love). I have had an amazing time reading it and I can't wait to read it again!

    Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down! Enjoyed it even though it wasn't exactly what I had expected when I purchased it. I'm not even sure what it was I had expected but I'm mighty glad I did decide to buy it. I do reread it.

    These are fantastic stories, brilliantly and intricately interwoven with classical midrash - traditional Jewish biblical interpretation - and independently engaging as well. Hammer also includes clear and engaging notes for each story, including the biblical texts on which each story builds and the thinking that led her to each story.
