ReVisions offers new and meaningful interpretations of the Torah to help women shape a new understanding of Jewish life and thought. Women whose lives are woven through stories in the Torah - Eve, Leah, Rachel and all the women of the Exodus story - reveal how they existed within the power structures of biblical society, and how they transformed those structures toward the formation of the Jewish people. Combining her translation of the ancient text with scholarship, modern feminism, midrash, commentary and critique, Goldstein uncovers the Torah's female spirit in the rites, rituals, and beliefs of our ancestors. She reveals how they relate to today's search for meaning and spirituality among modern Jewish women, and how the spiritual and personal connections shared by women have been passed down to us through the generations.
