Rate 0.0 /5

Following the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple by Roman armies in 70 C.E., new incarnations of Judaism emerged. Through ancient stories involving Jewish spinners and weavers, Miriam B. Peskowitz re-examines this critical event and--presenting a feminist interpretation in which gender takes center stage--challenges traditional assumptions regarding Judaism's historical development.
