A compelling investigation of the Jewish communitys reaction or
nonreaction to domestic violence. In a congregation of devoted
worshippers gathered for Shabbat services at the local synagogue,
it may be difficult to accept how many wives go home with their
husbands to ongoing physical and emotional abuse. In Sins of
Omission, author Carol Goodman Kaufman offers a compelling
investigation of the Jewish communitys reaction or nonreaction to
domestic violence. Concerned with the sins of the community more
than the sins of the abuser, Goodman Kaufman finds that the
Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform rabbis and community leaders are
not doing enough and are not informed enough to help the abused
women in their congregations get the support, protection, and
guidance they need. Through her many insightful interviews with
survivors of abuse, rabbis, and lay community leaders, the author
takes a hard look at the Jewish community, its rules, regulations,
and followers, and discovers the ways in which it helps and hinders
victims of abuse.
