torah

As Cantor Sarah J. Sager began her research, she found there were many people — both women and men — who were thinking about the silence of women in the Jewish tradition, and working to create \”a sense of women\’s presence at the most important moments of our history and in our most sacred text,\” Sager later wrote. But there was no one place to find all that commentary. Fifteen years later, the WRJ is publishing \”The Torah: A Women\’s Commentary,\” edited by Tamara Cohn Eskenazi, a professor at the Los Angeles branch of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.
