Through a look at women’s battle over synagogue ritual and the ordination of women rabbis, an intricate and complex picture of identity, resistance, and religious change is revealed. Some of the central questions that Yael Israel-Cohen explores are: How do modern Orthodox women strategize to implement feminist changes?  How do they deal with what at least on the surface seem to be conflicting allegiances? How do they perceive their role as agents of change and what are the ramifications of their activism for how we understand the boundaries of Orthodoxy more generally?  \"Between Feminism and Orthodox Judaism represents an interpretive study at its finest. It is well-written, theoretically sophisticated, and grounded within the literature. I highly recommend this book for scholars and nonscholars alike who are interested in studies of women’s resistance in conservative settings.\" Faezeh Bahreini, University of South Florida, Tampa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Religion, Modernity, and Women Chapter 1: Religious Change and Women's Agency in Conservative Religions Chapter 2: Orthodox Judaism and Women's Standing Chapter 3: Methodology Part II: Exclusion and Resistance  Chapter 4: The Battle over Women's Standing in Synagogue Ritual   \t\t Chapter 5: Orthodox Women Rabbis? \"It's only a matter of time\"  Part III: Behind the Label: \"I am an Orthodox Feminist\"\t\t\t Chapter 6: The Cultural Contextualization of Orthodox Feminist Identity  Chapter 7: Orthodox Feminists talk about Feminism in a Wider Perspective Part IV: Orthodox Feminism beyond a Gendered Discourse Chapter 8: The Trend towards an Increasingly Hybrid and Pluralistic Orthodoxy  Chapter 9: The Present and the Future of Orthodox Feminism  Appendix: Interview Questions","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210677182807,"sku":"9789004305625","price":56.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/between-feminism-and-orthodox-judaism-paperback-resistance-identity-and-religious-change-in-israel-9789004305625","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
