ABSTRACT

The three traditions of Judaism, feminism, and psychology have, in differing and dynamic combination, taught many of us how to question and what to question. As Jews and as women, we are accustomed to not being considered in other people's questions or to being considered in questions whose answers compromise, criticize, or minimize us. We are all wounded in various ways by other people's questions and other people's answers. The movement toward reclaiming ourselves and our own experiences begins in the questions, the questions that we have already asked and have yet to ask. It lies in the courage of each of us in being able to face the difficult questions and not resolve them prematurely with easy answers.
