Day 32: The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
Netzach in Hod, Endurance in Glory/Humility
The glimpse of Dinah's life that we see in the Torah practically begs us to ask more about her life. What was it like to be Jacob's only daughter? What was her relationship with her brothers? What happened to her after Shechem? In answer to these questions, Anita Diamant gave us The Red Tent, a modern imagining of Dinah's life and legacy. Diamant gives this complicated character a voice, strength, and purpose. Her story doesn't end abruptly and violently, but plays out fully. Dinah endures in our imaginations beyond the text.
