Circle, Arrow, Spiral: Exploring Gender in Judaism

Delving into the Midrashic underpinnings of the struggle for equality and its philosophical ramifications, this book explores how female angst plays a cosmic role in awakening humanity to a crucial process. Also, addresses some of the thornier issues relating to men and Women in Jewish law – including the marriage and divorce structure and public versus private roles – exploring them through the prism of the paradigm built in earlier chapters. Understanding this paradigm sheds light on the entire male/female dynamic and offers insight into navigating this crucial relationship in real life more successfully.
