Resources

While there have been various commentaries published in recent years that address women in the Bible and women's perspectives on the Bible, The Torah: A Women's Commentary will be the first to cover all individual Torah portions featuring the following types of commentary: 


  • A central commentary of each Torah portion written by a biblical scholar, concentrating on issues that involve women (either because they appear in the text or because they do not) and explaining unclear passages and words.

  • A second, shorter biblical voice, focusing on a specific element, complementing, supplementing, or challenging the central commentary.

  • A postbiblical text interpretation, highlighting how traditional Torah portions addressed issues pertaining to women.

  • Contemporary reflections, addressing philosophical, theological, and other approaches relevant to the Bible and Jewish life today.

  • Creative voices, offering imaginative responses to the text in the form of poems, modern midrash, and other artistic expressions.
