Lilith - A Rereading of Feminine Shadow
In Lilith, Ohad Ezrahi and Marc Gafni provide insights into the deep context in sources of Hebrew wisdom for this core idea that the exile of the Shekinah is in one expression, the exile of the erotic into the sexual. This idea is possibly best expressed in the Raya Mehimna and Tiqunei Zohar literature. Based on the biblical verse “and a maidservant that inherits her mistress” (Proverbs 30:23), the Shekina in exile is said to be the state in which the maidservant has inherited her place.
