It is not a fast read, which was great. It forced me to slowly absorb the wisdom in each story, chapter and section.
So good. Thank you Tirzah!
I recommend this book to any woman who is interested in Kabbalah or women's spirituality but looking for material without a new-age, wiccan, or patriarchal interpretation.
