Produktinformationen zu „Celebrating the Lives of Jewish Women (PDF)“
Jewish women of all ages and backgrounds come together in Celebrating the Lives of Jewish Women to explore and rejoice in what they have in common--their heritage. They reveal in striking personal stories how their Jewishness has shaped their identities and informed their experiences in innumerable, meaningful ways. Survivors, witnesses, defenders, innovators, and healers, these women question, celebrate, and transmit Jewish and feminist values in hopes that they might bridge the differences among Jewish women. They invite both Jewish and non-Jewish readers to share in their discussions and stories that convey and celebrate the multiplicity of Jewish backgrounds, attitudes, and issues.In Celebrating the Lives of Jewish Women, you will read about cultural, religious, and gender choices, conversion to Judaism, family patterns, Jewish immigrant experiences, the complexities of Jewish secular identities, antisemitism, sexism, and domestic violence in the Jewish community. As the pages unfold in this wonderful book of personal odysseys, the colorful patterns of Jewish women's lives are laid before you. You will find much cause for rejoicing, as the authors weave together their compelling and unique stories about:
- midlife Bat mitzvah preparations
- the transmission of Jewish values by Sephardi and Ashkenazi grandmothers
- traditional Sephardi customs
- the sorrow and healing involved in coping with the Holocaust
- a lesbian's fascination with Kafka
- the external and internal obstacles Jewish women encounter in their efforts to study Jewish topics and participate in Jewish ritual
- becoming a Reconstructionist rabbi
- the difficulties and benefits of being the teenaged daughter of a rabbi
