Mothers in the Jewish Cultural Imagination: Jewish Cultural Studies, Volume 5 - Jewish Cultural Studies
Marjorie Lehman
Most Jews willfeel intimately familiar with and attached to the figure of the `Jewishmother', yet few have questioned representations of mothers and motherhood inJewish culture. This volume aims to fill this gap by bringing to the fore thevast network of symbols and images which Jews have associated with mothers fromthe Bible to the modern period. It demonstrates the complex ways in which theJewish mother has been used to construct and frame Jewish religion and culture.
