- Description
- Twenty scholars address questions, such as: How do modern women fit into Jewish thought and practice? Is halakhah gender inclusive? How do conceptualizations of the Jewish home effect Jewish women's identities? What is the relation between the experiences of historical Jewish women and the roles of their present day sisters? How have changing gender roles affected the identity of the Jewish male? Among the subjects covered are: gender boundaries in Kabbalah: images of Jewish masculinity: the challenge of women's rabbinic leadership: Jewish feminist theory: rabbinic responses to wife-beating: Orthodox women in the modern world: patriarchy, Judaism, and Nazism in German feminist thought.
