They are extensions of home because their content typically relates the woman's responsibility for family and home. They are ‘home pages’ where these women can voice their frustrations and joys, but unlike conversations, in which they can control who listens, these daily diaries are public. The chapter scrutinizes the many non-Jewish reporters drawing attention to the blogs and their surprise that what they assumed to be an isolated, pre-modern group would log on from computers in a ‘traditional’ Jewish household. At the same time, it reveals internal conflicts within the group about how their communications can be reconciled with halakhah, and their potential to change the role of women.

In honoring Betsy Halpern-Amaru, this volume brings together a wide range of international scholars in the field of Ancient Judaism. Betsy's many interests in Jewish Studies and European history and religion converged in the courses she taught at Vassar. These included Second Temple literature courses, seminars on the representations of biblical women in post-biblical literature and on the biblical matriarchs in literature and art from the middle ages through the contemporary period, special studies on the narratives of Adam and Eve, the history of Anti-Semitism, and relations among Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Middle Ages and Renaissance.Keywords: ancient Judaism; Betsy Halpern-Amaru; Christians; heavenly tablets; Jews
