Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award for 1998With 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. | Voices of the Matriarchs by Chava Weissler, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
