The Book of Earth and Other Mysteries is a doorway into the bright, bold, dangerous, and beautiful world of Rabbi Jill Hammer's spirit journey.

Now available in paper! "Hammer breathes a woman's breath into ancient narratives her collection of new midrashim draws on her knowledge of the Bible, the rich tradition of classical midrash, and on her own imagination." Lilith This exceptional anthology of 24 stories about the women in the Bible is now available in paperback. 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 new stories were written to give biblical women the honor they deserve due 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.
