Stone Shekina

By Enid Dame

Stone Shekina

“Audacious and painful, full of comedy, wisdom and loving kindness, Enid Dame’s
Biblical characters are as modern as our neighbors, our families, our stumbling
selves. Enid Dame’s Bible is truly a tree of life sprouting exuberantly through dis-
asters – and she is one of the great midrashists of our time.”
–Alicia Ostriker, author of many volumes of poetry, including Waiting for the Light
