| | Role of women in Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Feminism has led to a reappraisal of the role of women in Jewish religion. | | | The role of women in Judaism is determined by the Hebrew Bible, Talmud (oral law), tradition and by non-religious cultural factors. | | | At recent JOFA conferences on Feminism and Orthodox Judaism, a small number of Orthodox Jews have proposed that it may be acceptable for the Orthodox movement to ordain women as rabbis, or that some form of rabbinical-like ordination for women is possible. |

| | Judaism 101: The Role of Women |
| | To understand the limited role of women in synagogue life, it is important to understand the nature of commandments in Judaism and the separation of men and women. | | | Seven of the 55 prophets of the Bible were women (they are included in the list of biblical prophets). | | | The first of these women's mitzvot is nerot (literally, "lights") or hadlakat ha-ner (literally, "lighting the lights"), that is, the privilege of lighting candles to mark the beginning of the shabbat or a holiday. |

| | Feminism and Judaism - Women in Judaism |
| | The discrediting of women in their traditional roles has lead inevitably to a prejudice against womanhood and in favor of manhood which extends across the board. | | | What we are left with today is a situation in which, more than ever, women's spiritual contributions to home, family, and others are unrecognized, not only by men, but, more painfully, by women themselves. | | | Judaism believes in wholeness, in the valid claims of contrasting aspects: |

| | Jewish Women in Israel |
| | The approach of this school of thought is, broadly speaking, that women are “separate but equal” in the Jewish tradition; that men and women are relegated to different realms of activity within Jewish life, and that within the separate realms the man is a king and the woman a queen. | | | In the last thirty years, especially since the rise of the Jewish feminist movement that has often attacked the traditional culture of Judaism as being sexist and unjust, dozens of books and articles have been written about the role of women in Judaism. | | | Less traditional critics have brought G-d into their argument, seeing the divine texts as man made and arguing that the very concept of G-d and G-d’s deeds that has developed within Judaism is a result of male dominance and male construction of the sacred texts. |

| | About The Role Of Women (Messianic Judaism) |
| | Women seem to be the forgotten ones in Scripture, whose roles have been sadly diminished within some assemblies. | | | Women are not to take disciples, because such a leader would dominate and teach -- strongly influence their follower's lives. | | | Women are included here, to teach and admonish one another in the assembly through praises. |

| | As Jewish women become breadwinners, executives, teachers and public role models, they are asking why their roles in religious life are also not changing to meet the realities of secular life. | | | In order to understand the different roles of women and men, it is necessary to understand the traditional Jewish view of society as a whole. | | | The blurring of traditional roles in American society, has presented a challenge to the traditional role of women in Judaism. |

| | Chapter 11 of Was Christianity Too Improbable to be False? |
| | And in truth, the involvement of women in Christianity's history was no greater than in the history of Israel, from Mariam to Sarah to Ruth--and let's not forget the Prophets Deborah (Judges 4) or Huldah (2 Kings 22:12-20), or Rachel the Mother of All Israel (Genesis 29-35). | | | Even where the Talmud says women were sometimes disqualified as witnesses, it never says why--except in one case: there, the rabbis conclude that a woman's testimony is to be trusted when she actually saw what she testifies to, but is not to be trusted when she only inferred that something had happened (b. | | | And that is exactly the place women take in the story: not a single item of the gospel Paul preached depended on these women, and their role is consistently secondary and subservient. |
