Kaminsky, Judaism, 1997.
| "Both the tendency to marginalize the
importance of corporate ideas, and the movement to emphasize the
importance of texts that stress the individual's relationship to God, stem
from a common modern bias that favors individualistic over community-based
conceptions of identity and responsibility." |

| "I have come to the conclusion that we
need new myths, new metaphors, new language if we are to calm the troubled
waters of the relations between women and men or -- better still -- to
make the troubled waters become a source of healing for the unhealthy
relations foisted upon us by patriarchy and androcentrism." |
