Summary

Following the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple by Roman armies in 70 C.E., new incarnations of Judaism emerged. Through ancient stories involving Jewish spinners and weavers, Miriam B. Peskowitz re-examines this critical event and--presenting a feminist interpretation in which gender takes center stage--challenges traditional assumptions regarding Judaism's historical development.
