He presents a range of possibilities, including a portrayal of a female Moses.

He reveals a fragile prophet, a teacher of a Judaism of the spirit, of wandering, and of incompleteness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Judaism of Moses speaks to believers and others, including Jews but also extending beyond them. It invites its hearers to abandon tribal pride, violence, and the tyranny of a special place.
