Carefully arguing that many common assumptions about the
traditional Jewish family are mistaken, this outstanding collection
of essays--many previously unpublished--by thirteen leading
scholars, explores the subject both in its historical reality and
as it has been perceived and imagined by Jews over the centuries.
Writing for a conference held at the Jewish Theological Seminary of
America the contributors, including Robert Alter, Mordecai
Friedman, Paula Hyman, and Moshe Idel, reveal the Jewish family to
be a variegated, rich, and complicated institution that has adapted
and responded to the many different cultures in which Jews have
made their homes. Individual essays examine Jewish marriage in
rabbinic, medieval, and modern times; marriage as a literary and
artistic metaphor; childhood and adolescence in Judaism and the
role of the mother as ethical instructor; and the Jewish family in
the community, where different Jewish cultures have preserved
central elements of the tradition while developing unique
expressions of family life.
