More Precious Than Pearls: Selected Insights into the Qualities of the Ideal Woman : Based on Eshes Chayil

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful, deep yet accessible intro to Jewish womanhood
Review: Although this book is structured as a line-by-line analysis of the famous proverb "Eyshes Chayil," (in English, "Woman of Valor"), it actually is a fountain of practical advice on how to build your character into that of the Biblical feminine ideal. For example, Rebbetzin Heller takes the statement "She seeks wool and flax..." and makes of it that we must use just the right quantities of strength and kindness in raising our children, and pay attention to which is called for at any given moment. You could say men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but if you want to become a refined, dignified Venutian with a shining soul, this book is an important and beautiful guide.
