I call my doctor’s office the red tent because it’s all women. Whenever they do something to me, they cover me with a soft blanket, bring me something to drink and somebody holds my hand. Best healing experience.
But was unreadable to me. Completely inaccurate depiction of Jewish life, law and custom. No idea what Diamont’s agenda is. Too bad because real Jewish life is so rich and full and storytelling in truth is always so much more interesting!
