- Description
- Tova Hartman created a new modern Orthodox synagogue in Jerusalem, that is more inclusive to women. In this book she explores contact points between comtemporary feminist thought and aspects of Jewish tradition. She discusses three feminist analyses of Freudian psychology for reading Jewish texts: modesty and the religious male gaze: the backlash against feminism by traditional rabbis: the male imagery in liturgy: and Orthodox women and purity rituals. Throughout, she emphasizes the importance of reinterpretation, asking her readers to view as 'creative tensions'what seem like obvious and insurmountable contradictions between traditional and modern beliefs.
