Experience the Talmud in a fresh way with recipes and stories that
nourish the body and spirit.
Feeding the Women of the Talmud, Feeding Ourselves produces true food
for thought by retelling the stories of sixty-nine women in the Talmud
and honoring them with vegan or plant-based recipes. Enjoy sixty-nine
delicious, balanced recipes ideal for family meals, entertaining, and
healthy snacks. Each recipe is accompanied by stunning photography and
meditations on stories of women in the Talmud that draw new meaning from
the text.
This community cookbook is the co-creation of 129 Jewish women from
around the world. Sixty rabbis, rabbinical students, Jewish teachers,
and emerging thought leaders contributed to the Talmudic narratives, and
sixty female professional chefs and passionate home cooks contributed to
the recipes. The addition of this female-focused point of view to these
women's Talmudic stories--which were recorded and edited by men--is a
bright and encouraging testament to a modern generation of women
engaging in Jewish learning.
