As a UCLA English Department faculty member for nearly 30 years, I deeply respected and admired Prof. Frymer-Kensky's work. Her "Reading the Women of the Bible" prompted me to lead a teaching tour to Israel that I titled "Meet the Women of the Bible," a tour I co-led with my Israeli colleague, Miriam Feinberg-Vamosh. Miriam and I had great fun leading 28 women (and three husbands . . . who received "combat pay") on that wonderful tour. We used "Reading the Women of the Bible" as our primary reference text, borrowing shamelessly from Prof. Frymer-Kensky, wit, wisdom and insight. I like to think of that tour as a tribute to Prof. F-K. May her memory be a blessing. It certainly is to me.
