Voices of the Matriarchs: Listening to the Prayers of Early Modern Jewish Women
Chava Weissler
Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award for 1998
With Voices of the Matriarchs, Chava Weissler restores balance to our knowledge of Judaism by providing the first look at the Yiddish prayers women created during centuries of exclusion from men's observance. In Weissler's hands, these prayers (called thkines) open a new window into early modern European Jewish women's lives, beliefs, devotion, and relationships with God.
