Tamara Cohn Eskenazi has a special place in contemporary biblical
scholarship. Among the first to bring a focus of scholarly
attention to the period of ancient Israel's creativity after the
Exile, she has also been a leader in foregrounding the Jewish
tradition within the interpretative discourse of biblical scholars.
And as a woman scholar, she has advanced the study of issues in the
Hebrew Bible that impinge on the concerns of women ancient and
modern. Tamara Eskenazi was awarded the 2008 National Jewish Book
Award for her volume The Torah: A Women's Commentary and the 2011
National Jewish Book Award in Women's Studies for her commentary on
Ruth in the Jewish Publication Society Bible Commentary series. The
26 articles offered to Tamara Eskenazi by her friends in this
volume represent the range of her interests in all things biblical
and Jewish. From Genesis to the New Testament to modern Hebrew
fiction, from technical studies on the prophets or Qumran to
penetrating insights on her beloved philosopher Levinas, this
volume beautifully represents the range and depth of Jewish
culture. The contributors are Rachel Adler, Annette Aronowicz,
