Hide and Seek by Lynne Schreiber
One of the few books to consider the very personal, yet also public, matter of married Jewish women covering their hair, Hide and Seek explains the law, considers the customs surrounding the practice, and includes the voices of women from around the world who are moved by the nature of this challenging observance. The book includes legal and sociological perspectives of the practice, citing relevant texts and rabbinic discourse, as well as the history, tradition, and customs of Jewish communities from around the world. Twenty-four personal essays from women on this sensitive issue lend a very personal face to the debate.
Lynne Schreiber is a journalist, a college instructor, and the author of Driving Off the Horizon, a book of poetry; In the Shadow of the Tree: A Therapeutic Writing Guide for Children with Cancer; and Residential Architecture. She lives in Oak Park, Michigan.
