Four Centuries of Jewish Women’s Spirituality: A Sourcebook

Four Centuries of Jewish Women’s Spirituality: A Sourcebook (HBI Series on Jewish Women)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Much has changed for Jewish women since the first edition of Four Centuries of Jewish Womenâ€™s Spirituality appeared in 1992. Associations of Jewish womenâ€”academic, religious, secularâ€”have proliferated, making the womenâ€™s voices heard. In collecting material for this completely revised edition, the editors drew upon sources that express the diversity of Jewish women, mainly from 1560 to the present. They sought material by Jewish women of different ages, sexual orientations, educational and socioeconomic backgrounds, and nationalities. Reflecting a wide variety of literary genres, sources include spiritual works (sermons, addresses, ritual blessing, prayers) as well as letters, sisterhood minutes, and committee reports that also express the spiritual concerns of their authors. Writings by women rabbis and contemporary Orthodox women, along with documents from Latin America, bring the volume up to date.
