REL 300 8 - Women in Judaism How have women understood and experienced Judaism in different times and places? This course will begin to explore this question by examining Jewish women’s traditional roles and status, how these roles have changed and varied in different periods of history and different cultural settings, and how Jewish women themselves identify with and practice Judaism. Special emphasis will be placed on the experiences of Jewish women in the Holocaust and in the State of Israel. Finally, it will consider the impact of feminism on Judaism and consider the question of what it means to be a Jewish feminist and a Jewish woman in contemporary Jewish life. (Group III)
