Title: Great Midrash
Product review: This is a wonderful book. Each story is carefuly crafted writing and very good reading. The Introduction and the Notes to the reader help give backround in Midrash for the unintiated and make the tales themselves more understandable.Havdala was terrific. The concept of pale Eve meeting dark Lilith in the Garden of Eden on the eve of shabbat and discovering her "womanhood" transported me.Reading Naamah was like chatting with and listening to the wise women who helped me through the rough times in my life.The Daughters of Tzelafchad reminded me that we each have to claim our share of worldy goods but we must be wise about how we do it.It had never occured to me to see Queen Vashti as another victim. The story opened my eyes to looking at things in a new way.If Jill Hammer wrote the book as a teaching tool it worked with me.
