Produktbeschreibung

A powerful-and empowering-gathering of women's voices transmitting
Judaism's Passover legacy to the next generation.

The Women's Passover Companion offers an in-depth examination of women's relationships to Passover as well as the roots and meanings of women's seders. This groundbreaking collection captures the voices of Jewish women-rabbis, scholars, activists, political leaders and artists-who engage in a provocative conversation about the themes of the Exodus and exile, oppression and liberation, history and memory, as they relate to contemporary women's lives.

Whether seeking new insights into the text and traditions of Passover or learning about women's seders for the first time, both women and men will find this collection an inspiring introduction to the Passover season and an eye-opening exploration of questions central to Jewish women, to Passover and to Judaism itself.
