Mara H. Benjamin contends that the physical and psychological work
of caring for children presents theologically fruitful but largely
unexplored terrain for feminists. Attending to the constant,
concrete, and urgent needs of children, she argues, necessitates
engaging with profound questions concerning the responsible use of
power in unequal relationships, the transformative influence of
love, human fragility and vulnerability, and the embeddedness of
self in relationships and obligations. Viewing child-rearing as an
embodied practice, Benjamin's theological reflection invites a
profound reengagement with Jewish sources from the Talmud to modern
Jewish philosophy. Her contemporary feminist stance forges a
convergence between Jewish theological anthropology and the demands
of parental caregiving.
