Here are Miriam, Esther, Dinah, Lilith and many other women of the Torah in dialogue with Jewish daughters, mothers and grandmothers, past and present. Together these voices examine and debate every aspect of a Jewish woman's life -- work, sex, marriage, her connection to God and her place in the Jewish community and in the world. The Five Books of Miriam makes an invaluable contribution to Torah study and adds rich dimension to the ongoing conversation between Jewish women and Jewish tradition.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Ellen Frankel</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Commentaries</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Pentateuch</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Feminist criticism</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">222.107</classification> <classification authority="ddc">F829-E45</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780060630379, 006063037X</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15515/25.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15515/25.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071505.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
