The Miriam Tradition works from the premise that religious values form in and through movement; with ritual and dance developing patterns for enacting those values. Cia Sautter considers the case of Sephardic Jewish women who; following in the tradition of Miriam the prophet; performed dance and music for Jewish celebrations and special occasions. She uses rabbinic and feminist understandings of the Torah to argue that these women; called tanyaderas; "taught" Jewish values by leading appropriate behavior for major life events.

FoxThis is an important work written in an accessible; enjoyable style intended for a mass audience. It is full of fascinating facts generally unknown to the public [unfortunately]. It is illustrated with many photos; all of which can be expanded to full screen views.What is really important about this accessibly written book is the understanding it provides about the nature of the lives of wild things; what they are dependent upon; and the serious problems of continued existence they currently face. These considerations are especially important in the light of the current political milieu where those in power do not understand the importance of species diversity to human survival; and whose environmental protection views will further shrink species diversity and decimate wildlife populations and its consequent impact on human life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
