By: Judith Mudrak

Milch ist nicht gleich Milch“ ist eine Zusammenfassung historischer Fakten über Milch in den USA und in der Schweiz. Während Tausenden von Jahren wurden Milch und Milchprodukte im unbehandelten Zustand als Nahrungsmittel und Medizin gebraucht. Unfruchtbarkeit, Laktoseunverträglichkeit und Allergien waren bei früheren Generationen kaum je ein Problem. Was geschah im 19. Jahrhundert, dass die Milch und die Kuh für Krankheiten wie Tuberkulose verantwortlich gemacht wurden? Ist Milch heute wieder naturgerecht? Angesichts der großen Auswahl an verschiedensten Produkten: Wie wählt man aus? Sind fettarme Milch und Sojamilch gesünder? Gedeihen Neugeborene, wenn sie mit pasteurisierter Milch gestillt werden? Besteht ein Unterschied zwischen Bauernfrischmilch und Fabrikmilch? Was meinen Ärzte und die Wissenschaft? Die Antworten auf diese und weitere Fragen gibt das vorliegende Buch.

Rereading The Rabbis

A Woman's Voice

By: Judith Hauptman

In the Image of God

A Feminist Commentary on the Torah

By: Judith S. Antonelli

In the Image of God: A Feminist Commentary on the Torah is a unique blend of traditional Judaism and radical feminism and is a groundbreaking commentary on the Bible, the central document of Jewish life. Using classical Jewish sources as well as supplementary material from history, anthropology, sociology, psychology, ancient religion, and feminist theory, Judith Antonelli has examined in detail every woman and every issue pertaining to women in the Torah, parshah by parshah. The Torah is divided into fifty-four portions; each portion, or parshah, is read in the synagogue on the Sabbath (combining a few to make a yearly cycle of readings). This book is modeled on that structure; hence there are fifty chapters, each of which corresponds to a parshah. One may, therefore, read this book from beginning to end or use it as a study guide for the parshah of the week. The reader will discover in these pages that the Torah is not the root of misogyny, sexism, or male supremacy. Rather, by looking at the Torah in the context in which it was given, the pagan world of the ancient Near East, it becomes clear that far from oppressing women, the Torah actually improved the status of women as it existed in the surrounding societies. Not only does this book refute the common feminist stereotype that Judaism is a "patriarchal religion" but it also refutes the sexism found in Judaism by exposing it as sociological rather than "divine law.

Midrashic Women

Midrashic Women

Formations of the Feminine in Rabbinic Literature

By: Judith R. Baskin

While most gender-based analyses of rabbinic Judaism concentrate on the status of women in the halakhah (the rabbinic legal tradition), Judith R. Baskin turns her attention to the construction of women in the aggadic midrash, a collection of expansions of the biblical text, rabbinic ruminations, and homiletical discourses that constitutes the non-legal component of rabbinic literature. Examining rabbinic convictions of female alterity, competing narratives of creation, and justifications of female disadvantages, as well as aggadic understandings of the ideal wife, the dilemma of infertility, and women among women and as individuals, she shows that rabbinic Judaism, a tradition formed by men for a male community, deeply valued the essential contributions of wives and mothers while also consciously constructing women as other and lesser than men. Recent feminist scholarship has illuminated many aspects of the significance of gender in biblical and halakhic texts but there has been little previous study of how aggadic literature portrays females and the feminine. Such representations, Baskin argues, often offer a more nuanced and complex view of women and their actual lives than the rigorous proscriptions of legal discourse.

Chattel or Person?

The Status of Women in the Mishnah

By: Judith Romney Wegner

Exploring the place of women in the socioeconomic system formulated in the Mishnah, a book of legal rules with a spiritual basis compiled by Jewish sages in second-century Palestine, this study reveals a fundamental ambiguity in the role of women. Both the property and the peers of men, in some circumstances women were considered to possess no powers, rights, or duties in law, and in others were judged morally, practically, and intellectually fit to own property, conduct business, engage in lawsuits, and manage their own personal affairs. Wegner spells out in detail these variations in status, analyzes them, and isolates the factors that account for differential treatment of different classes of women in the private domain and for differential treatment of men and women in the public domain of mishnaic culture, relating her findings to recent developments in feminist analyses of the status of women in patriarchy.

The Old English Judith

A Study of Poetic Style, Theological Tradition and Anglo-Saxon Christian Concepts

By: Judith Kaup

The Old English translation of the biblical Judith is preserved in only 1 manuscript, the 'B.L. Cotton Vitellius A.XV'. Even though the extant text is incomplete at the beginning and possibly at the end, the poem is an exceptionally fine piece of Old English writing. This study considers all different aspects of its composition and reception.

The Coming of Lilith

Essays on Feminism, Judaism, and Sexual Ethics, 1972-2003

By: Judith Plaskow

This first collection of Judith Plaskow's essays and short writings traces her scholarly and personal journey from her early days as a graduate student through her pioneering contributions to both feminist theology and Jewish feminism to her recent work in sexual ethics. Accessibly organized into four sections, the collection begins with several of Plaskow's foundational essays on feminist theology, including one previously unavailable in English. Section II addresses her nuanced understanding of oppression and includes her important work on anti-Judaism in Christian feminism. Section III contains a variety of short and highly readable pieces that make clear Plaskow's central role in the creation of Jewish feminism, including the essential "Beyond Egalitarianism." Finally, section IV presents her writings on the significance of sexual ethics to the larger project of transforming Judaism. Intelligently edited with the help of Rabbi Donna Berman, and including pieces never before published, The Coming of Lilith is indispensable for religious studies students, fans of Plaskow's work, and those pursuing a Jewish education.

The Women's Haftarah Commentary

New Insights from Women Rabbis on the 54 Weekly Haftarah Portions, the 5 Megillot & Special Shabbatot

By: Rabbi Elyse Goldstein

Women rabbis are changing the face of Judaism. Discover how their interpretations of the Prophets, Writings, and Megillot can enrich your perspective. The Haftarah is a potent tool for understanding the values, ethics, and moral lessons contained in the Torah readings. In this first-of-its-kind volume, more than eighty women rabbis from the Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist movements offer fresh perspectives on the beloved texts that make up the Haftarah—the Prophets and Writings—and the Five Megillot. Based on readings that are rich in imagery—some poetic, some narrative, some dark and brooding—their commentaries include surprising insights on the stories of Deborah and Yael, David and Goliath, David and Bathsheva, and the witch of Endor, among many others. Themes such as Jerusalem as woman, the story of Jonah and the fish, and other prophetic images are informed and challenged by this groundbreaking work. A rich resource, a major contribution to modern biblical commentary, and the ideal companion to The Women’s Torah Commentary, The Women’s Haftarah Commentary will inspire all of us to gain deeper meaning from the Hebrew scriptures and a heightened appreciation of Judaism.
