  <description><![CDATA[<em>Jewish Women Living the Challenge</em> is a collection of essays and several moving short stories as well as poetry, biblical passages, rabbinic commentary and Jewish scholarship. This book meets its readers and speaks to them wherever they may be in terms of Jewish background or observance.  All of the texts, including biblical passages and rabbinic commentary, are in English.  Each chapter concludes with ideas for further thought, discussion, activities and reading, inviting readers to explore and shape their lives within the Jewish community.  Like <em>The Jewish Book of Why</em> and <em>Jewish Literacy, Jewish Women Living the Challenge</em> offers tools for building, strengthening or simply better understanding what it is to be a Jew, specifically a Jewish woman, in today's society.  <p>Features:  <p>--Strong thought pieces from distinguished contributors across the Jewish observance spectrum  <p>--Innovative, provocative and versatile suggested activities; ideal for reading groups, independent study, home schooling, educators, community leaders, meetings and conferences  <p>--Bibliographical overview of popular and academic writings for each topic  <p>--Valuable contact information to reach other advocacy and support organizations or to obtain additional Hadassah resources</p></p></p></p></p>]]></description>
