CRITICS PRAISE
"AFTER THE APPLE"
by Naomi Harris Rosenblatt . . .
“In
reading After the Apple you will surely encounter as never before the strong,
albeit imperfect, women of the Bible. You will likely also encounter your
parent, your partner, your sibling, your child – and yourself. Discover fresh
insights from the story of each woman’s struggle analyzed with scholarship, an
ear for the nuances of the Hebrew text, compassion, and respectful wit.” -
Rabbi Avis. D. Miller, Adas Isreal Congregation, Washington, D.C.
“With wisdom, insight, sensitivity, compassion, and profound understanding of
humanity, Naomi Harris Rosenblatt retells and explicates the stories of women in
the Bible. She makes us keenly aware of their individuality, the strengths and
the struggles they shared, and their separate and collective relevance to our
lives and to our times.” - Stephen Joel Trachtenberg President, George
Washington University
“Here, finally, is the other side of the Bible – the women’s side of the
stories. Naomi Rosenblatt explains, illuminates, and analyzes the struggles of
Sarah, Abigail, Bathsheba and the others with compelling originality. This is a
gem of a book.” - Jim Lehrer, Author of Flying Crows and Executive Editor /
Anchor of "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer"
“As women around the world re-engage the Bible, Naomi Rosenblatt is waiting with
open arms, a cup of tea, and provocative thoughts. After the Apple reads like
the Contemporary Woman’s Guide to the Bible – wise, sisterly, with the
occasional zinger at the men watching football downstairs. This book is sure to
stir debates for many years to come.” - Bruce Feiler, Author of "Walking The
Bible", "Where God Was Born", and "Abraham"
“Fascinating . . . as if one were seeing the old stories with new eyes.” -
