For all of them go on existing and living their lives year after year, even though they are situated outside the circles of our daily routines ? dead to us because they are external to us, outside our ken. Suddenly, their routines brush up against ours, and here they are rising up before us like Lazarus from the dead, to show us that their being dead to us was merely the result of the narrowness of the torch's beam, capable of illuminating only a small part of our path through the big, broad fields which lie outside our ken because of the curtain of darkness cutting them off from our field of vision, even when their abysses gape inside us.

And it is precisely this romantic feature that has made Jacob so accessible to modern literary reworkings, from Thomas Mann's Joseph trilogy (the first volume of which is devoted to "The Tales of Jacob") to Harold Bloom's recent hermeneutic fiction, The Book of J ("Before I became convinced that J was a woman, I tended to believe that Jacob was J's signature, a kind of self-representation" [1990, 209]). Less obvious is the fact that this ostensibly sudden effusion of passion is not as unpredictable as it may at first seem. Although unprecedented in the earlier portions of Genesis, it is subtly rationalized within the psychology of the Jacob cycle itself, which offers a compact but complete economy of family dynamics. It should come as no surprise that at the core of this economy we find a proliferation of the verb 'ahav (love). As we shall see, this single Hebrew root covers a variety of affects and appetites that range in the language of modern psychology from transference and maternal love, bonding and attachment, to gluttony and dependence, desire and lust.

Olshen and Yael S. Feldman, it addresses a broad range of literary approaches to specific texts in the Hebrew Bible. Like other volumes in the series, it surveys teaching aids and critical material and brings together essays that apply a variety of perspectives to teaching the text and includes an extensive bibliography. Upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, student teachers, education specialists, and teachers in all humanities disciplines will find this volume particularly helpful.

Reviewed in 25 journals. Feldman shows the richness and subtleties of Israeli women's fiction as she explores the themes of gender and nation, as well as the (non)representation of the "New Hebrew Woman" in five authors—the "foremothers" of the contemporary boom in Israeli Women's fiction: Amalia Kahana-Carmon (Up on Montifer, With Her on Her Way Home), Shulamith Hareven (City of Many Days, Thirst, The Vocabulary of Peace), Netiva BenYehuda (The Palmach Trilogy), Ruth Almog (Women, The Story of a [Writer's] Block, Roots of Air), and Shulamit Lapid (Gei Oni).

Its point of departure is Zionism's obsessive preoccupation with its haunting "primal scene" of sacrifice, the near-sacrifice of Isaac, as evidenced in wide-ranging sources from the domains of literature, art, psychology, philosophy, and politics. By placing these sources in conversation with twentieth-century thinking on human sacrifice, violence, and martyrdom, this study draws a complex picture that provides multiple, sometimes contradictory insights into the genesis and gender of national sacrifice.
Extending back over two millennia, this study unearths retellings of biblical and classical narratives of sacrifice, both enacted and aborted, voluntary and violent, male and female—Isaac, Ishmael, Jephthah's daughter, Iphigenia, Jesus. Glory and Agony traces the birth of national sacrifice out of the ruins of religious martyrdom, exposing the sacred underside of Western secularism in Israel as elsewhere.
