Editor(s): Danya Ruttenberg

It is not often that an academic title about religion stimulates other parts of the body as well
as the mind. Yet that is what Ruttenberg, a rabbi, and the 17 contributors to this collection of
essays have accomplished. Ruttenberg, a wunderkind of Jewish feminism, leads the reader through
an often racy reconsideration of what the sacred Jewish texts say about our most intimate
relationships. Along the way there is a lot of fun.see the story about the naked rabbi and the
prostitute who marries him. But Ruttenberg et al. never lose sight of their goal: to uncover new
ideas about treating those we love with the respect, kindness and honor inherent in the teachings
of Judaism.
