Sisters At Sinai : New Tales Of Biblical Women, Paperback by Hammer, Jill (NA.... Sisters At Sinai : New Tales Of Biblical Women, Paperback by Hammer, Jill (NA), ISBN 0827608063, ISBN-13 9780827608061, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This is an exceptional anthology of 24 stories about the women in the Bible. Drawing from the ancient tradition of midrash, the author brings to life the inner world and the experiences of these women, weaving rabbinic legends and her own imagination into the biblical texts. Readers will discover Lilith&;not as the night demon alluded to in Isaiah, but as another aspect of Eve herself. Sarah is a moon priestess and as great a prophet as Abraham. Miriam is not merely a figure of song and dance, but also one of revelation, a source of Torah. These stories were written to give biblical women the honor they deserve&;due to them as prophets, rulers, and teachers. The Introduction to Sisters at Sinai offers the rationale and the need for midrash - the writing in the margins - expressing how it can be liberating as well as deeply comforting. Perfect for women&;s studies courses, adult study groups, confirmation classes and book groups.
