Woman cannot become a mother. Woman waits, prays, and, if necessary, enlists help to conceive. Woman becomes pregnant, finally gives birth to a child, and thanks …

Human beings don’t have to be told that we are living outside of paradise. It’s not just the fact that the world is not perfect: it’s that deep inside many of us, we feel a longing for a place that might be. Within each of us there is a longing for a home we have never fully found. Midrashically, this human experience of exile begins almost immedia…
