Rabbi Leah Novick’s On the Wings of Shekhinah: Rediscovering Judaism's Divine Feminine is a very gentle introduction to Judaism’s premier symbol of God’s feminine side. The Shekinah, in her most advanced form, acts as a seemingly independent entity in Jewish mysticism (although we are probably in the realm of allegory here). She is the Queen, who yearns to be reunited with the King, God.
Allegory or not, there is no denying that the Shekinah injects a dose of the feminine into masculine Judaism. Rabbi’s Novick’s treatment is a soft treatment the Divine Feminine across the centuries.
