Kodesh

by Gabi Aharonov

Kodesh is a compilation of vignettes which create a story about a Jewish Orthodox settlement. It follows a variety of characters who chose to live in complete segregation from the outside world, and within their settlement, there is complete gender segregation. A brilliant response to the current trend of erasing women, Kodesh is a dystopia which acts a warning.

Thought provoking

Brave new world in Judaism. Thought provoking book. When society excludes the input of women, it fails to be successful.

[Shaina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stunning critic of the erasure of women in our community. Beautifully written and incredibly engaging. Each vignette is more poignant than the last.
