Book Synopsis Women Remaking American Judaism by : Riv-Ellen Prell
Download or read book Women Remaking American Judaism written by Riv-Ellen Prell and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of Jewish feminism, a branch of both second-wave feminism and the American counterculture, in the late 1960s had an extraordinary impact on the leadership, practice, and beliefs of American Jews. Women Remaking American Judaism is the first book to fully examine the changes in American Judaism as women fought to practice their religion fully and to ensure that its rituals, texts, and liturgies reflected their lives. In addition to identifying the changes that took place, this volume aims to understand the process of change in ritual, theology, and clergy across the denominations. The essays in Women Remaking American Judaism offer a paradoxical understanding of Jewish feminism as both radical, in the transformational sense, and accomodationist, in the sense that it was thoroughly compatible with liberal Judaism. Essays in the first section, Reenvisioning Judaism, investigate the feminist challenges to traditional understanding of Jewish law, texts, and theology. In Redefining Judaism, the second section, contributors recognize that the changes in American Judaism were ultimately put into place by each denomination, their law committees, seminaries, rabbinic courts, rabbis, and synagogues, and examine the distinct evolution of women's issues in the Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist movements. Finally, in the third section, Re-Framing Judaism, essays address feminist innovations that, in some cases, took place outside of the synagogue. An introduction by Riv-Ellen Prell situates the essays in both American and modern Jewish history and offers an analysis of why Jewish feminism was revolutionary. Women Remaking American Judaism raises provocative questions about the changes to Judaism following the feminist movement, at every turn asking what change means in Judaism and other American religions and how the fight for equality between men and women parallels and differs from other changes in Judaism. Women Remaking American Judaism will be of interest to both scholars of Jewish history and women's studies.

Download or read book Eden Or Bust written by Wolf Murphy and published by Jammin! Publications. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miriam's Tambourine is a folktale all about regaining our primal wisdom and connection, and the act of empowerment and purification that allows this is Drumming! But it's so much more than that. For to receive her drum to play for that sacred purpose, we first must journey to find Miriam. And the folktale is the treasure map for that journey-in code. Miriam's own saga is the story of the eradication of the Female Divine at the hands of the Mosaic God. To find her we must speak to the Ancestors, reconnect with the wisdom of the Wild, and unwind our own religious history all the way back to a primal spirituality that still included the feminine in its notion of deity. The simple details of the folktale offer a pathway into a critical re-evaluation of fundamental Western concepts. These are beliefs that it is almost inconceivable to call into question as they are simultaneously the core values of our culture, the control mechanisms of that culture, and the justifications for that culture's rapacious colonizing behavior. This journey helps us question and transcend these assumptions. But what can break the status quo of an entire culture? Miriam is returning to answer just precisely this question. She is here to tell us that there is a way of living in which we belong to this planet in profound health and community. She's here to tell us where we got lost, and specifically what to do to find our way again. And when we see that there is a joyful, correct, biologically ethical way for us to live, we finally receive the benediction of compassion for ourselves that alone can foster the possibility of real compassion for anything-and everything-else. With all that said to prepare us for the journey, EDEN OR BUST!

Book Synopsis A Season of Singing by : Sarah M. Ross
Download or read book A Season of Singing written by Sarah M. Ross and published by Brandeis University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, Jewish music in America began to evolve. Traditional liturgical tunes developed into a blend of secular and sacred sound that became known in the 1980s as "American Nusach." Chief among these developments was the growth of feminist Jewish songwriting. In this lively study, Sarah M. Ross brings together scholarship on Jewish liturgy, U.S. history, and musical ethnology to describe the multiple roots and development of feminist Jewish music in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Focusing on the work of prolific songwriters such as Debbie Friedman, Rabbi Geela Rayzel Raphael, Rabbi Hanna Tiferet Siegel, and Linda Hirschhorn, this volume illuminates the biographies and oeuvres of innovators in the field, and shows how this new musical form arose from the rich contexts of feminism, identity politics, folk music, and Judaism. In addition to providing deep content analysis of individual songs, Ross examines the feminist Jewish music scene across the United States, the reception of this music, challenges to disseminating the music beyond informal settings, and the state of Jewish music publishing. Rounding out the picture of the transformation of Jewish music, the volume contains appendixes of songs and songwriters a selection of musical transcriptions of feminist Jewish songs, and a comprehensive discography. This book will interest scholars and students in the fields of American Jewish history, women's studies, feminism, ethnomusicology, and contemporary popular and folk music.
Download or read book Identity Papers written by Helene Meyers and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argues that debates about Jewish identity and assimilation are signs of creative potential rather than crisis. Identity Papers argues that contemporary Jewish American literature revises our understanding of Jewishness and Jewish difference. Moving beyond the reductive labeling of texts and authors as too Jewish or not Jewish enough, and focusing instead on narratives that portray Jewish regeneration through feminist Orthodoxy, queerness, off-whiteness, and intermarriage, Helene Meyers resists a lachrymose view of contemporary Jewish American life. She argues that such gendered, sexed, and raced debates about Jewish identity become opportunities rather than crises, signs of creative potential rather than symptoms of assimilation and deracination. Thus, feminist debates within Orthodoxy are allied to Jewish continuity by Rebecca Goldstein, Allegra Goodman, and Tova Mirvis; the geography of Jewish identity is racialized by Alfred Uhry, Tony Kushner, and Philip Roth; and the works of Jyl Lynn Felman, Judith Katz, Lev Raphael, and Michael Lowenthal queer the Jewish family as they reveal homophobia to be an abomination. Even as Identity Papers expands Jewish literary horizons and offers much-needed alternatives to the culture wars between liberal and traditional Jews, it argues that Jewish difference productively troubles dominant narratives of feminist, queer, and whiteness studies. Meyers demonstrates that the evolving Jewish American literary renaissance is anything but provincial; rather, it is engaged with categories of difference central to contemporary academic discourses and our national life. Ultimately, Meyers offers not only nuanced readings of many texts, but also a cogent argument about the generative possibilities for American Jewish futurity through an undoing of what constitutes normative understandings of Jewish bodies, families, and relationships. Journal of Jewish Identities Identity Papers is an important, thoughtful text that will appeal to those with an interest in postmodern inquiries into multiculturalism, identity theory, and selfhood. MELUS This is a sophisticated, nuanced critical study of contemporary Jewish (American) literature Taking an anthropological approach to Jewish and Judaic cultural expression, Meyers provides probing, subtle analyses Highly recommended.
