Barbie in the Forward
...what happened to feminism? To self-respect? To Barbies who aspired to becoming doctors and lawyers, to filling the ranks of other distinguished and, yes, decently clothed occupations?
Just as I was about to give in to despair about the state of things, a new Barbie crossed my path via the Internet: Tefillin Barbie....A witty comment on contemporary American Jewish life where opportunities for enhanced religiosity exist alongside the claims of pop culture and the exigencies of tradition, Tefillin Barbie seems to me to strike just the right balance between playfulness and high purpose.
Ain't that lovely?
