Description
The Hebrew Priestess: Ancient and New Visions of Jewish Women's Spiritual Leadership This book explores the often-overlooked role of women in Jewish religious leadership, from the biblical era to the present day. The authors, founders of the Kohenet Institute, bring a unique perspective to the subject, drawing on their own experiences as Jewish women who have explored the Divine through their own lens. The book delves into the lives of women like Miriam the Prophetess and Deborah the Judge, whose stories have been lost to history, and examines the ways in which women have been erased from the narrative of Jewish spiritual practice. It also introduces 13 models of spiritual leadership, each with its own distinct characteristics, and shows how these models continue to be relevant today. Through a combination of historical research and personal reflection, The Hebrew Priestess offers a practical and deeply personal guide to incorporating the spiritual gifts of Jewish women into one's own life.
