The Daughters Victorious

The Daughters Victorious

Rabbi Wexler takes us on a fictional journey into the Biblical story of five brave and determined women who advanced Judaism and ultimately the world.The Daughters Victorious tells the amazing Biblical story of five sisters whom, over 3,000 years ago, fought for their inheritance and dignity. They sacrificed their individual yearnings to advance the causes of property rights and religious education for women at the time when such privileges and rights were non-existent. The laws giving them their inheritance were incorporated into the laws of the Torah.This story shows that Judaism was the first religion to advance the status of women, more than 3,000 years before even the most progressive western civilizations acted in a similar manner.Review"Fascinating and inspiring reading.
