Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-21 00:00:00 Julia Nelson This is an excellent sociological study of Ger Hasidic women living in a development outside of Tel Aviv in the 1980's. The author posits that even though the women are educated - they are literate, sometimes speak multiple languages, and seek further education in their spare time - the patriarchy they live in insists that their knowledge remain only surface level, and the women have internalized this message, and rarely do anything but passively consume halachic knowledge.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-21 00:00:00 Barbara Cohen It is one thing to grow up in a specific religious movement, but it is another thing to learn about its history. I'm not sure if I knew that Conservative Judaism actually came out of Reform Judaism, or that Reform Jews were major funders of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
