One Jewish Woman’s Musings on Eishet Chayil

One Jewish Woman’s Musings on Eishet Chayil

In this personal blog post, Amy Meltzer shares her desire, as a Jewish woman, to hear her praises sung at her family’s Friday night table, particularly since showing such appreciation is something she would like modeled for her daughters. Since her husband does not sing, and certainly not in Hebrew, she toys with the idea of playing “Rubies,” a modern, indie musical adaptation of Eishet Chayil by “Girls in Trouble,” at her Shabbat table. This  reflection appears on “Homeshuling,” Meltzer’s Jewish parenting blog, supported by Beliefnet,” an ecumenical lifestyle site dedicated to faith and inspiration.
