Sisters at Sinai
In this marvelous anthology of 24 stories about women in the Bible, Rabbi Jill Hammer draws from the ancient tradition of Midrash -- creative interpretation that elaborates upon the sparse details of the biblical text -- and brings to life the inner world and experiences of these unforget-table characters. The stories reintroduce Lilith, Sarah, Leah, Miriam, and many other notable women of the Bible as the author weaves together the rabbinic legends and her own vivid imagination. Hammer's commentary includes a list of biblical texts and an explanation of how each story came to be written and why. Praised for its originality and expressiveness, this book gives biblical women the honor they deserve -- an honor due them as prophets, rulers, and teachers. Book jacket.

The Woman Who Fought an Empire
Though she lived only to twenty-seven, Sarah Aaronsohn led a remarkable life. The Woman Who Fought an Empire tells the improbable but true odyssey of a bold young woman--the daughter of Romanian-born Jewish settlers in Palestine--who became the daring leader of a Middle East spy ring. Following the outbreak of World War I, Sarah learned that her brother Aaron had formed Nili, an anti-Turkish spy ring, to aid the British in their war against the Ottomans. Sarah, who had witnessed the atrocities of the Armenian genocide by the Turks, believed that only the defeat of the Ottoman Empire could save the Palestinian Jews from a similar fate. Sarah joined Nili, eventually rising to become the organization's leader. Operating behind enemy lines, she and her spies furnished vital information to British intelligence in Cairo about the Turkish military forces until she was caught and tortured by the Turks in the fall of 1917. To protect her secrets, Sarah got hold of a gun and shot herself. The Woman Who Fought an Empire, set at the birth of the modern Middle East, rebukes the Hollywood stereotype of women spies as femme fatales and is both an espionage thriller and a Joan of Arc tale.

Dr. Eugene Heimler's "THE STORM" is a powerful drama in verse that reveals the secret of the survival of the Jewish people and how the Jews have been able to overcome history's never-ending challenges.

The Strata of the Priestly Writings
The papers in this volume are the fruits of a conference on the priestly strata of the Pentateuch that took place in Vienna in the summer of 2007. The conference brought together scholars from Europe, North America, and Israel, and revealed the diversity of contemporary views on the nature of the priestly material. The essays in this volume cover a wide range of critical issues, including the question of the extent to which a view of P as a consistent and unified whole can still be defended, criteria for determining literary strata within the priestly material, evaluation of models for understanding these strata, and a discussion about the existence of the Holiness Code and its relationship to P. Contributors include Joel Baden, David Bernat, Erhard Blum, Simeon Chavel, William Gilders, Tamar Kamionkowski, Christophe Nihan, Eckart Otto, Thomas Romer, Baruch Schwartz, Sarah Shectman, and Jeffrey Stackert. Dr. Joel S. Baden, Jahrgang 1977, ist Assistant Professor of Old Testament an der Yale Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut. Dr. Sarah Shectman, Jahrgang 1973, ist Visiting Assistant Professor am Department of Judaic Studies der Binghamton University in Binghamton, New York.
