With humor and sensitivity, \u003ci\u003eAround Sarah's Table\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the lives of ten Hasidic women and on the insights each gains from the weekly Torah reading, illustrating the ways in which each woman's life is infused with Judaism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrooklyn, 1991: A few Hasidic women begin meeting once a week for lunch and intimate learning with friends. The few soon grow to many, from backgrounds as diverse as those of any other segment of the Jewish population. Gathered together by Sarah -- mother of thirteen, girls' high school principal, facilitator, connector, and hostess -- they called themselves the \"Women's Tuesday Torah Luncheon and Study Group.\" From Reva the publisher to Rachel the \u003ci\u003emikvah\u003c\/i\u003e maven, Klara the lawyer, Levana the \u003ci\u003erebbitzin, \u003c\/i\u003e and others, the daily joys and sorrows of each allow us to see through the stereotypes to truly connect with the real women who lie behind those images. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the eyes, ears, and hearts of storytellers, Zakutinsky and Gottlieb generously introduce us to their very personal spiritual realm. Amidst a world filled with spiritual unrest and anxiety, \u003ci\u003eAround Sarah's Table\u003c\/i\u003e offers inspirational Hasidic and biblical interpretation gathered by women, for both women and men to follow. Less concerned with an academic approach to Bible study than with the traditional methods of \"learning,\" the authors never seem to lose sight of how the ancient texts apply to their contemporary lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFast paced but reverent, \u003ci\u003eAround Sarah's Table\u003c\/i\u003e introduces us to the unique experience of living life as a Hasidic woman, and reminds us that beyond all the labels that tend to keep us apart, we are all very much alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRivka Zakutinsky, \u003c\/b\u003e lecturer, author, educator, and founder of Aura Press, a religious-book imprint, holds a teaching degree from Beth Jacob Seminary in Brooklyn and a graduate degree from Hofstra University.
