"The Path of Moses: A Scholarly Essay on the Case of Women in Religious Faith" is a book written by Mózes Salamon and translated by Julia Schwartzmann. The book explores the role of women in religious faith, particularly in Judaism. The review of the book by Schwartzmann in the Israeli Hebrew newspaper Ha-Aretz highlights the significance of Salamon's work and its relevance to contemporary discussions on gender in Judaism. The book includes the original Hebrew text, a translation into English, footnotes, and additional scholarly resources. It argues for the inclusion of women in the synagogue and emphasizes the importance of restoring Judaism to its original state. [Extracted from the article]
