Feeding Women of the Talmud, Feeding Ourselves
Experience the Talmud in a fresh way with recipes and stories that nourish the body and spirit.
Feeding Women of the Talmud, Feeding Ourselves produces true food for thought by retelling the stories of 69 women in the Talmud and honoring them with vegan or plant-based recipes. Enjoy 69 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. 60 Rabbis, Rabbinical students, Jewish teachers, and emerging thought leaders contributed to the Talmudic narratives, and 60 female professional chefs and passionate homecooks 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.
