| 1. |  | Golda from Harper Price: $18.45 Customer Review:  When I got this book, I was hoping for a personal look at Golda, the person. Having read it, I feel I learned more about Israel's long complicated history than about Golda as a person. Maybe that is because the woman did not have much of a personal life and her story was tied to that of her country.... |

| 2. |  | The Rabbi's Daughter from The Dial Press Price: $16.32 Customer Review:  If one is familiar with the religious Jewish life the book grabs you until the last page. A few small points are interesting however. If she comes from a orthodox family why does her father as a rabbi use a loudspeaker on sabbath and kiss other woman? sounds a bit strange.... in addition the very... |

I love the stories that the author tells about her life and her family as related to food and Jewish tradition. I could relate. The recipies provided in the book are delicious. I am keeping the book as a reference. |

| 4. |  | Around Sarah's Table: Ten Hasidic Women Share Their Stories of Life, Faith, and Tradition from Free Press Price: $16.32 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... |

| 5. |  | Women's Lives, Women's Legacies: Passing Your Beliefs and Blessings to Future Generations from Fairview Press Price: $13.57 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. |

| 6. |  | Listen to Her Voice: Women of the Hebrew Bible from Chronicle Books 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... |

| 7. |  | Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today from Schocken Price: $10.88 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 The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times.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... |

| 8. |  | She Who Dwells Within: Feminist Vision of a Renewed Judaism, A from HarperOne Price: $14.21 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... |

| 9. | [no image] | Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology from Jason Aronson Customer Review: Mikvah and the Laws of Family Purity are from the most difficult to understand and digest. No one does it better than Rivkah Slonim. If you have considered Mikvah, never really understand it or simply curious this is your book. A valuable compendium and resource. This book would be a great gift for... |

| 11. | [no image] | The Woman in Jewish Law and Tradition from Jason Aronson Customer Review: Mr. Kaufman has compiled an all-comprising encyclopedia of the Jewish woman, whose role might be different from men's but in no way less important. His comparisons with christian views on women are incisive and true. Without being apologetic mr. Kaufman defends the Jewish traditional view on women;... |

| 12. |  | Coming Home: A Woman's Story Of Conversion To Judaism from Basic Books Customer Review: I've been thinking about converting for two years. I read Kukoff's book and Embracing the Convenant for the same reasons but was looking for a single person's journey in depth rather than a bunch of quotes or a series of stories by others. Shires doesn't speak just for herself, though, but for many... |

| 13. |  | Fighting to Become Americans: Assimilation and the Trouble Between Jewish Women and Jewish Men from Beacon Press Price: $20.00 Customer Review: This eye-opening book takes a historical look at relationships between Jewish men and women -- long the source of jokes and stereotypes. Prell's innovative use of popular culture, diaries, fashion, films, novels and letters reveals the pressures and strains Jews felt as they struggled against... |

| 14. |  | Fraulein Rabbiner Jonas: The Story of the First Woman Rabbi (Arthur Kurzweil Book) from Jossey-Bass Price: $24.95 Customer Review: I had always thought, as did most American Jews, that Sally Preisand of Reform Judaism was the first woman formally ordained in the early 1970s. I was astonished to learn, in the 1990s, that the first woman rabbi was actually Regina Jonas, an Orthodox woman who was ordained by Liberal (Reform)... |

| 15. |  | Jewish Mothers from Chronicle Books Customer Review: "Jewish Mothers" is terrific. The diversity of subjects, storytelling images, and biographical essays are excellent windows into the variety and complexity of American Jewish Womanhood. The opening essay about Joyce Antler highlights the importance of Jewish family attitudes in promoting... |

| 17. |  | From Eve to Esther: Rabbinic Reconstructions of Biblical Women (Gender and the Biblical Tradition) from Westminster John Knox Press Price: $24.95 Customer Review: For the length of text this is, 186 pages, this text is packed with information about the interpretation of women characters in the Hebrew Bible in normative rabbinic Judaism. The book is structured around themes: Modesty and Matrimony Women and Torah Study Women and Prayer |

| 20. | [no image] | In the Image of God: A Feminist Commentary on the Torah from Jason Aronson Price: $55.00 Customer Review: This book challenges the standard feminist spirituality notion that paganism in the ancient near east was good for women just because it worshipped goddesses. In actuality, ancient Canaanite, Babylonian, and Egyptian religions were very sexually exploitative of women. The Torah reacts against this... |

Yet I did get annoyed with some of the writers. Not all American Jews are ignorant of Mizrachi and Sephardi Jews. Most of my peers and my... |

| 24. | [no image] | Jewish Women in Time and Torah from Ktav Pub Inc Customer Review: R. Berkovits provides a coherent historical framework from which to view women's current status in Judaism: his thesis is that women have evolved from an "impersonal" role where their primary importance was for the pragmatic purpose they served to today's more "personal" view:... |

I have extensive experience working on Sephardic culture and the forced conversion of the Jews. In addition the author has been able to focus on one of the leading areas of Inquisitional studies that has gone unresearched for far too long and that is the treatment and... |
