"Makes a solid contribution to both Jewish feminism and lesbian and gay studies, breaking new ground in its focus on transforming Jewish religious life from a lesbian perspective.... Writing in a straightforward, inviting sometimes pastoral voice that reaches out to a larger audience, Alpert defines lesbianism in a multi-faceted way that allows her to examine shifting understandings of lesbians in Jewish tradition." Women's Review of Books
