Often when people have become alienated from their religious
backgrounds, they access their traditions through lifecycle events
such as marriage. At times, modern values such as gender equality
may be at odds with some of the traditions; many of which have
always been in a state of flux in relationship to changing social,
economic and political realities. Traditional Jewish marriage is
based on the man acquiring the woman, which has symbolic and actual
ramifications. Grounded in the traditional texts yet accessible,
this book shows how the marriage is an acquisition and
contextualises the gender hierarchy of marriage within the rabbinic
exclusion of women from Torah study, the highest cultural practice
and women's exemption from positive commandments. Melanie Landau
offers two alternative models of partnership that partially or
fully bypass the non-reciprocity of traditional Jewish marriage and
that have their basis in the ancient rabbinic texts.
