In this anthology by and about Jewish women, fifteen British rabbis
discuss the changing role of Jewish clergywomen in the six decades
since the private ordination of Regina Jonas, the first woman
rabbi. Through personal testimony and scholarly inquiry, they take
note of the legacy of their foremothers and grapple with what it
means to be a Jewish woman on the eve of the twenty-first century.
Delving into the interpretive process from which women have
traditionally been excluded, the rabbis examine female role models
found in the Hebrew Bible, biblical prophecy and the feminist
vision, the authorship of the Song of Songs, and the matter of
canonicity from a feminist perspective. They consider such
questions as why Judaism has no "sayings of the mothers" and assess
contemporary gender issues including Jewish feminist theology,
inclusive language, segregated seating in synagogue, and the whole
issue of the feminine in Judaism.
