5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book
I'd rate this book among my favorites. Although the chapters are long, there is so much wisdom in the pages! I've learned many things about myself, the history of why women are treated the way they have been for so long, etc. This book is a definite aid to soul healing, in my opinion.
5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring yet somewhat troubling
It was exciting to hear about some of the Jewish Women mystics the author researched. It was disappointing to realize a) how little of their own writing (usually none) survived) and how they were often marginalized, with one or two exceptions. However, it did help me connect a bit with my roots. And I'm glad I read it.
5.0 out of 5 stars So deep and timely
I love the way the author brings these women back to life! Their stories need to be shared, their voices cry out to be heard. It is time for the feminine to rise.It is not a fast read, which was great. It forced me to slowly absorb the wisdom in each story, chapter and section.So good. Thank you Tirzah!
5.0 out of 5 stars Superior book on Kabbalah with a Womanist perspective. Great for women's spirituality readers or groups
This is a really great discussion/interpretation of Kabbalah from a Womanist perspective (I avoid saying Feminist as the word has many connotations now days that aren't quite right for the meaning I hope to convey). Much of the work of controversial anthropologists such as M. Gimbutas is discussed as well as much on Shekinah, early Jewish traditions involving Asherah and other aspects of the religion that originally had a feminine meaning that have over time been purposely or inadvertently converted to masculine or neuter.I recommend this book to any woman who is interested in Kabbalah or women's spirituality but looking for material without a new-age, wiccan, or patriarchal interpretation.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've read.
It's a book that gives me new faith and offers great perspectives in the world and amazing history of Jewish women. I highly recommend this book for women over 30, particularly if you've struggled with how you believe women have been treated through generations of masculine leadership of the Jewish people. It is one of the very few books I've read multiple times - along with The Red Tent, The Tipping Point, and Anya Seton's Green Darkness.
5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful
i love this book! i was not very familiar with Judaism and was having difficulty finding real women in the Kabbalah. But Rabbi Firestone presented such a beautiful path for women (and men) to enter into the study by following historical visionary Jewish women. you will become a fan too
5.0 out of 5 stars Making Kabbalah accessible
This is an excellent book for learning about Kabbalah and the unknown (for most part) great Jewish women religious leaders of the past. Each woman history is used to set up one of Kabbalah's teaching. I come from a Jewish background which questioned Kabbalah and its mystic element. After reading this book, the differences between these two backgrounds were significantly lessen. It makes Kabbalah teachings accessible and connects it to day to day life.
5.0 out of 5 stars but are more than halfway and love it. I have always wondered what happened to ...
Not yet finished with the book, but are more than halfway and love it. I have always wondered what happened to the Divine Feminine, and this book is very revealing. I would recommend it for anyone, but especially those who have studied some Kabbalah, Judaism or ancient goddess religions and women in particular.
Casual biography with comments here and there about Kabballah.
Almost a kind of a biography written in casual way where she adds comments here and there about kabballah and Jewish lifestyle. Agreeable reading. You just don't get bored.
