jewish-mccoy:hermione-walked-out-of-a-yeshiva:knerdy:Seriously, these Christian reviews of “The Red Tent” are making my week.Favorite quotes: “What would Jesus do? Burn it!”Ah yes, because Jesus never socialized with prostitutes or sinners. He stayed far, far away from anyone like that. Yep, totally a Jesus move to condemn anyone who isn’t of a “pure” life.“This book is earthy and vulgar and filled with descriptions that belong with private matters. I had hoped for something that reflected the daily lives of women of the time period[.]”So sorry. Here you wanted a glimpse at the women’s daily lives, and instead the author only wrote about private matters! What a horrible misunderstanding!“[This book] takes the central character and tries to make us believe that a girl who is barely into puberty can have a deep romantic sexual experience and fall deeply in love with an adolescent male after just meeting him.”Yep, because no one believes in love at first sight. Especially not teenagers. That’s why our culture hails Romeo & Juliet as the ultimate story of waiting three days before calling a girl back. “[Anita Diamant] has written books outlining how to reject the Christian religion and convert to Judaism. I would suggest ‘The Red Tent’ only as a companion guide to someone who has such a goal.”Score, nice to know that there’s a trustworthy guide for this!Um…it’s inherently a Jewish book. Don’t want to comment specifically beyond that without reading the book. There are enough Christian books in the world already that I think my community can get some of our own too??god is it so hard to leave jewish books alone -- source link
