First published posthumously in Prague, in 1609, Meneket Rivkah pre-dates the work of Glueckel of Hamelin and makes a new contribution to the fields of Yiddish literature and Jewish women's studies. It includes Rivkah bat Meir's sermons, her interpretations of the Bible, and other religious instructions on various topics to guide women in their familial relationships.
This is the first book to include the original Yiddish text as well as an English translation of Meneket Rivkah. In addition, the book also includes the original Yiddish manuscript of Rivkah bat Meir's unpublished Simhes Toyre Lid.
