medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

According to Shirley Guth in her book, "Arab Women in the Middle Ages", the  
wailing-women traditions were documented in the Old Testament in connection 
with  the Jews in the provinces of the Persian Empire.
 
Can anyone please point me to the actual passages in the Old  Testament?
Thank you.

"But  if by 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, 
someone who  welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about 
the welfare  of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their 
jobs, their  civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes 
we can break  through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies 
abroad, if  that is what they mean by 'Liberal', then I'm proud to say I'm a 
'Liberal'."  John F. Kennedy, 14 Sept 1960
