Rabbi Ruth H. Sohn has just published: Crossing Cairo: A Jewish Woman's Encounter with Egypt. Judith Plaskow, Professor of Religious Studies at Manhattan College says, "The richness of Crossing Cairo is that it functions on a number of different levels. It’s a compelling personal story of the author’s sojourn in Egypt; it provides insight into the Arab Spring and the events that led up to it; most importantly, it explores the question of what it means genuinely to listen to the “Other’s” narrative and use it as a lens for examining one’s own. Sohn’s willingness to open herself to Egyptians’ perspectives on Israel and Judaism is most impressive." ISBN: 9781935604501 (paperback), 270 pages, $18.95; 9781935604518 (ebook), $8.95. Gaon Books.
