Voices of the Matriarchs: Listening to the Prayers of Early Modern Jewish Women
By Chava Weissler.
Description
Donated by the Jewish Women's Center of Pittsburgh. In counterbalance to the male focus of Judaic studies, Weissler (religious studies, Lehigh U.) examines tkhines, Yiddish devotional prayers, the only religious source materials traditionally available to women, as a lens into the construction of gender and mystical spirituality in Askenazic Judaism from the 17th century to its American feminist transformation.
