The Role of Women within Bereishit (Genesis) From Adam to Abraham to Isaac and Jacob‚ the Tanakh is full of men who have played key roles within not only the primary formation of Judaism but within the very history of the Jewish people. However‚ where does that leave the woman within the Holy Scriptures? How are they portrayed and characterized within these stories?
