Seven Pillars of Jewish Denial

"In this second entree in North Atlantic Books' Terra Nova series, writer Kim Chernin collects five politically astute and personally dramatic pieces originally published in Tikkun, which capture her life-long struggle to define herself in terms of feminist, Jewish, and female identity. The essays grapple with big questions - whether large or small actions are most politically significant, the place of women in Judaism, the feminine aspect of God, the Jewish attitude towards Wagner. Calling forth the moral conscience of American Judaism, the title essay is a powerful analysis of why so many American Jews "have trouble being critical of Israel"--Which results in a politically disastrous silence on Israel's aggressive actions in the Middle East."--Jacket.
