New Hungarian Book Release by Magda van der Ende

Tell me, who you are? (Mondd megnekem, ki vagy?)
Author:  Magda van der Ende

 Most women in the Bible are known as the wife of an important biblical figure. The centralised focus on the forefathers and other important men relegates women to the background. In the commentaries, women’s behaviour is judged by certain well-defined norms that have emerged in a masculine/patriarchal culture, dictating what is permissible for women and what is not. These seem to suggest that the most important and sublime task of a woman is to be a mother.

Written by Magda van der Ende, her book uses the vocabulary of the Kabbalah. It not only presents the roles of ten biblical women in the well-known Hebrew biblical narratives, but also seeks to highlight the archetypal essence of women that every human being can realize in life, in spirit, in mind, and in consciousness, thus, aiming at a different man-woman balance that creates the conditions for each person to freely develop his or her own unique and particular quality.

An English translation is in progress. The book can be ordered at https://mentorkonyvek.ro/termek/magda-van-der-ende-mondd-meg-ki-vagy/
