Great Mother

by Rabbis Miriam Maron and Gershon Winkler

The notion or image of God as Mother is endemic to Judaism at its very roots rather than a belated New-Agey addendum to help us “fit in” with the spiritual rage of the day. Our ancient wisdom tradition nonchalantly and quite comfortably feminizes the Divine Persona and Intent in both language and imagery, even attributing such to the very attribute by which the universe was created and perpetuates. The inspiring and soulstirring teachings around Great Mother in the Jewish tradition has for far too long been sorely misrepresented and heavily draped in metaphor, muffling the very Voice that called all existence into becoming. As we peel off the layers to this ancient body of Jewish mystery wisdom, it is our hope that existence will take on a deeper and more enriching meaning for all.
