Jewish Girlz (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573623943)

During a weekend retreat sponsored by two female rabbis, the atmosphere in the country

log cabin evolves from shyness and contempt into a tell-all session among adolescent Jewish

girls from all types of families and backgrounds. Stories and songs transcend stereotypes

to fi nd individuality, heart, and humor, and to touch on sensitive issues such as pressure,

self-esteem, the fast pace of this decade and what it means to be a girl - not just a Jewish

girl - in modern society. Meet the loner with the infl atable mattress, the rich girl, the observant

young woman with the gay brother, the anarchist, the all-too-mature teen. and an

intriguing mix of other vivid personalities. Songs range from contemporary to pop tunes

to upbeat numbers based on religious liturgy, all by the author of Runaways, The Red Sneaks,

and other challenging musicals for young casts.
