This book examines a key tradition in Judaism (the rule that exempts women from "timebound, positive commandments"), which has served for centuries to stabilize women's roles. Against every other popular and scholarly perception of the rule, Elizabeth Shanks Alexander demonstrates that the rule was not intended to have such consequences. She narrates the long and complicated history of the rule, establishing the reasons for its initial formulation and the shifts in interpretation that led to its being perceived as a key marker of Jewish gender.

"If you never receive late-night visits from somebody "beyond the veil," letters from heaven might be the next best thing. In this series of whimsical epistles smuggled to earth from the Spirit World we catch a glimpse of what daily life might be like in the Realms of Glory during that post-mortal day that stretches on and on forever without an end! Heavenly Letters sparkles with literary, political, social, and religious allusions designed to tickle the mortal and post-mortal funny bone as the protagonist awakens in the next life to a series of encounters with a host of ordinary and famous people, from Sisyphus to Samson, and from Attila the Hun to Henry David Thoreau. Since the author is a Utah Mormon, a Glossary of Terms is included at the end of the book (and should be read first) to assist less-active and non-Mormons, Progressives and Pagans."--Back cover.
