| 1. |  | A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book from Spiegel & Grau Price: $19.99 Customer Review:  I love this book because it has so much history and tells you where the prayers come from, often who wrote them and why, and what situation they were in when each one was written. Some of the prayers are translations or alternate versions of standard prayers found in standard siddurim. Each prayer... |

| 3. |  | The Rabbi's Daughter from The Dial Press Price: $4.87 Customer Review:  At first glance, particularly with the provocative cover, this book seemed interesting. I was quickly debunked of this thought after only a few pages. Sin number one: Reva Mann cannot write. She would've benefitted greatly from a ghostwriter. The sentences are simple, analogies flat and cliche,... |

| 4. |  | Miriam's Kitchen: A Memoir from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $4.42 Customer Review: I was very pleased with the copy of Miriam's Kitchen: A Memoir by Elizabeth Ehrlich which I received from Amazon.com. What made it really special was the fact that the author had signed it--not mentioned in the preliminary review! Thank you! |

| 5. |  | The Women's Seder Sourcebook: Rituals & Readings for Use at the Passover Seder from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $16.40 Customer Review: I didn't know as much as I would have liked about Passover, and these books were extremely helpful in becoming more familiar with it. Finding new perspectives on the traditional story and ritual was an exciting way to go about learning, and it really helped me connect to the holiday. In addition,... |

| 6. |  | Women's Lives, Women's Legacies: Passing Your Beliefs and Blessings to Future Generations from Fairview Press Price: $12.67 Customer Review: Very helpful, step by step book. Leans a lot to Jewish authors, but applies to anyone. Just not familiar with some of people quoted. I would recommend. |

| 7. |  | The Receiving: Reclaiming Jewish Women's Wisdom from HarperOne Price: $7.55 Customer Review: This is an excellent book for learning about Kabbalah and the unknown (for most part) great Jewish women religious leaders of the past. Each woman history is used to set up one of Kabbalah's teaching. I come from a Jewish background which questioned Kabbalah and its mystic element. After reading... |

| 8. |  | Listen to Her Voice: Women of the Hebrew Bible from Chronicle Books Price: $35.88 Customer Review: Someone questioned the quality of the paperback's image reproduction - I know both the hardback and the paperback of this book well. There's no reduction in the quality of reproductions in the paperback. In fact, after some color correction and updating, I think the quality of images may be superior... |

| 9. | [no image] | The Women's Haggadah from HarperOne Price: $12.50 Customer Review: This may have been a revolutionary document back in the 1970's, but I was looking for a working haggadah, one that had feminist ideology. This was more about the women's movement, and empowerment of women than it was a useful source for adding women-friendly sentiments to modernize a traditional... |

| 10. | [no image] | Tradition in a Rootless World: Women Turn to Orthodox Judaism from University of California Press Price: $39.94 Customer Review: people who haven't been exposed to Orthodoxy very much. Just to sum up briefly: the modern Orthodox Manhattanites profiled tend to have busy but slightly empty lives, and are trying to fit their new religious commitment into those lives. Their rabbis tend to focus less on beliefs about Divine... |

| 12. |  | Rereading The Rabbis: A Woman's Voice (Radical Traditions) from Westview Press Price: $20.25 Customer Review: The problem with Hauptman's book is not her analysis or methodology, per se, but her motivation. She seems to have a deep personal anxiety that drives her need to make the rabbis fit into a progressive model of history that makes them the precursors of modern values. The need to try to make them fit... |

| 14. |  | Rachel's Daughters: Newly Orthodox Jewish Women from Rutgers University Press Customer Review: The monthly journey to the mikva was the only relevant thing I got out of this book.There was not any other substantive information except an emphasis on monthly mikva attendance.I found the discussion with the book was dry. I would not pay to read on this subject again. |

| 15. |  | Engendering Judaism: An Inclusive Theology and Ethics from Jewish Publication Society of America Price: $199.00 Customer Review: I assigned this book as one of the seminar readings for my Jewish Studies class at the Evergreen State College. While the book was suitably demanding of my undergraduate readers due to its erudition and scholarship, it rewarded them with well argued, respectful and deeply engaging feminist solutions... |

| 16. |  | She Who Dwells Within: Feminist Vision of a Renewed Judaism, A from HarperOne Price: $10.96 Customer Review: Radical for its day, this book offers ways to access the feminine aspects of the divine and provides clear guidance for the creation of healthy, helpful ritual. The work attempts to stretch the envelope and does! Native American traditions are also drawn upon because the author lives in New Mexico... |

| 17. |  | Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today from Schocken Price: $8.49 Customer Review: I much enjoyed this book. It is well-researched and argues its case equally well. The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times. It ends, however, with the cry for those rulings to... |

| 18. |  | Fraulein Rabbiner Jonas: The Story of the First Woman Rabbi (Arthur Kurzweil Book) from Jossey-Bass Price: $6.00 Customer Review: Is a woman worthy of teaching the laws of Yahweh? The question has created heated debates in Talmudic circles and among many progressive rabbis. The answer could be found in this breathtaking book. Of course, it is written as a thesis, however,a new approach to solve this critical... |

I think every Jewish woman would want to include this in her... |

Her primary focus... |

| 22. |  | Lifecycles V1: Jewish Women on Life Passages and Personal Milestones (Lifecycles Vol. 1) from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $2.99 Customer Review: A treasure. Rabbi Orenstein has not only put together a wonderful, informative, and inspiring book, she has opened up a fresh dialogue within Judaic studies.

| 27. |  | Around Sarah's Table: Ten Hasidic Women Share Their Stories of Life, Faith, and Tradition from Free Press Price: $5.44 Customer Review:  This book was interesting with various different stories about different women in the ultra-Othordox faith. However, many of the stories were too short for my liking, and often, they were not that interesting. It's a shame since it was a good idea just not written out that well. It's still a good... |

| 28. |  | The Flying Camel: Essays on Identity by Women of North African and Middle Eastern Jewish Heritage (Live Girls Series) from Seal Press Price: $234.08 Customer Review: Who is a "real" African? Who is a "real" Latino? Who is a "real" anything? In the case of this book, the question slowly unravels in an enigmatic answer of who is a "real" Jew. As a non-denominational Christian who is devoted to exploring and identifying the roots of her faith, I have always... |
