Continuing yesterday's diversion into the world of Jewish religious history, I thought I needed to know what "Tz'enah Ur'ena" referred to. Now I know.

According to Artscroll:

From 1610 until the Holocaust, an Eastern European Jewish home had a Tz'enah Ur'enah on its Shabbos table. At least 210 editions of Rabbi Yaakov Ashkenazi's classic combining Torah commentary, Midrashic insights, and ethical teachings on the weekly sidrah have appeared.

And this from an Orthodox site:

(lit., "go out and see [O daughters of Jerusalem]"): a text featuring passages from the Chumash and related excerpts from the Midrash, translated into Yiddish and arranged according to the weekly *Parshah and the festivals; originally compiled and translated by R. Yaakov ben Yitzchak Ashkenazy (c. 1540-c. 1626), though the printed edition now used was extensively edited by a later (unknown) author; it has been studied for centuries by generations of pious Jewish women, both uneducated and highly erudite
