The Bible rarely tells the stories of its female characters, but the little that is said is significant. The women of the Bible initiate, lead, and advance actions, both behind the scenes and in the forefront. They influence their surroundings, affect the men in their lives, and decisively change the course of the narrative. They do this while walking the fine line between revolution and conservatism, between respect for the male system and undermining it. Over the generations, commentators have delved into the stories of the women of the Bible, revealing layer upon layer of their secrets. This process culminated in the writings of the teachings of the secret – Kabbalah and Hasidism. The teachings of the secret provide us with profound interpretations regarding the souls of women, their wisdom, and even their various reincarnations. It tells a story that alters everything we thought we knew about the female figure in Judaism – a story of femininity that is in a constant state of development, rising from generation to generation until it restores its lost stature. The book "Who Is This Rising" seeks to outline the portraits of the main women in the Five Books of Moses – Eve, Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel, Dinah, Tamar, Miriam, and the daughters of Zelophehad – as they emerge from the writings of Kabbalah and Hasidism.
