Abstract
Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in spirituality and religious texts, as well as an exciting expansion of women's participation and leadership in Jewish life. This unique three-volume collaboration brings together women writers, rabbis and scholars to create the first comprehensive work on Jewish lifecycle that fully includes women's perspectives. Lifecycles, V. 2 explores the impact that biblical texts have on our lives―and the impact our lives have on those texts. It delves into the human themes found both in the first five books of the Bible, and in women’s lives today.
