Her Ph.D. dissertation at Columbia University was on the Hebrew-American poet Gabriel Preil who was to become the subject of her first book, ''Modernism and Cultural Transfer'': ''Gabriel Preil and the Tradition of Jewish Literary Bilingualism'' (1986). Her MA thesis formed the basis of her second book, in Hebrew, ''Polarity and Parallel'': ''Semantic Patterns in the Medieval Hebrew Qasida'' (1987).〔Weinberger, Leon J. (+Medieval+Hebrew...-a0209800190 "Review: ''Polarity and Parallel'': ''Semantic Patterns in the Medieval Hebrew Qasida'' ), ''Hebrew Studies Journal'', Vol. 31, January 1990〕 After receiving her Ph.D. in 1981, she completed postdoctoral study at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research. Psychoanalytic theory has continued to inform her literary criticism as well as her studies on gender and biblical and Zionist narratives, beginning with her third publication, ''Teaching the Hebrew Bible as Literature in Translation'' (1989) and subsequent articles.〔"And Rebecca Loved Jacob, But Freud Did Not."

Her ''No Room of Their Own: Gender and Nation in Israeli Women's Fiction'', published in 1999, was the first book-length treatment devoted to Israeli women writers and written from a feminist perspective.〔''Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal'', (ISSN 1209-9392).

Retrieved 2011-02-13.〕 Her fifth book, ''Glory and Agony: Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative'', is the first book-length study of the ethos of national sacrifice in modern Hebrew culture. Growing out of her abiding interest in the impact of the Bible on contemporary psycho-politics, gender, and violence, it explores the biblical and classical stories of potential and enacted sacrifice (Isaac, Jephthah’s daughter, Iphigenia, Jesus) that have nourished myths of altruist heroism over the last century. This study was a finalist in the 2010 National Jewish Book Awards (Scholarship–Nahum M. Sarna Memorial Award).〔Jewish Literary Review.("National Jewish Book Awards announced" ), January 12, 2011. Retrieved 2011-02-13.〕 It was described by Perry Meisel as “a dazzling synthesis of political and religious history, particularly the history of the State of Israel and the tradition of Biblical interpretation"〔Stanford University Press ("Glory and Agony - Isaac's Sacrifice and National Narrative" ).

Retrieved 2011-03-19〕 ''Glory and Agony'' has been praised in ''Review of Biblical Literature'', where Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer wrote "This fascinating, multifaceted, and erudite book... is both very enjoyable and highly thought provoking, and I can recommend it whole-heartedly." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yael S.
