- This collection celebrates 23 biblical women, from Sarah, Ruth, and Esther, to the more mysterious Hatzlelponi (mother of Samsson) and the unnamed ' wife of Ovadiah'. Based on the 13th -century Yemenite Midrash ha-Gadol (literally, the Great Midrash) a work only partially translated into English and virtually unknown to Jews, this volume presents stories, commentaries, original monologues, and discussion topics for readers that touch upon the lives of Jewish women today.
