After each story, there is a reflection "imagine" piece written from the voice of each woman (written by Barbara) and a poem about her (written by Jane). Intermixed with the main text are sidebars called "midrash" in the singular or "midrashim" in the plural. These pose questions about each Bible story, provide more information about traditions, and include scholars' and writers' interpretations. These type of sidebars are traditional in Judiaca, defined as "an ancient commentary on part of the Hebrew scriptures, attached to the biblical text." The book's introduction explains that the stories are all from the "Hebrew Bible," sometimes called the "Old Testament" in communities outside of Judaism. While the book definitely comes from a Jewish standpoint, the book will have religious crossover appeal because these stories are part of many traditions and the commentary is nondenominational"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 220.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yolen Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 220.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 221.92208 Yo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
