Download or read book The Jewish Family and Jewish Continuity written by Steven Bayme and published by KTAV Publishing House, Inc.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish family in America is by and large a reflection of the general American family. With the rise of divorce and the increasing preference for alternative life styles, the traditional Jewish family, like its American counterpart, is under increasing challenge. When the effects of intermarriage and a lower-than-average birth rate are added in, the continuity of the Jewish family and Jewish life is under even greater threat. The essays in this volume, by distinguished scholars and social-policy theorists, assess the situation and prescribe policy measures to minimize the adverse affects of these trends when necessary or possible. Among the questions addressed are adoption, divorce, abortion, feminism, and pornography. It is the hope of the editors and contributors alike that their work will not only aid in preserving the American Jewish family, but will have wider resonance as well.

Download or read book The Jewish Family written by Yehezkel Margalit and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Jewish family law has persevered for hundreds of years and rules covering marriage, the raising of children, and divorce are well established; yet pressures from modern society are causing long held views to be re-examined. The Jewish Family: Between Family Law and Contract Law examines the tenets of Jewish family law in the light of new attitudes concerning the role of women, assisted reproduction technologies, and prenuptial agreements. Through interdisciplinary research combining the legal aspects of family law and contract law, it explores how the Jewish family can cope with both old and modern obstacles and challenges. Focusing on the nexus of Jewish family law and contract law to propose how 'freedom of contract' can be part of how family law can be interpreted, The Jewish Family will appeal to practitioners, activists, academic researchers, and laymen readers who are interested in the fields of law, theology, and social science.
Download or read book Jewish Family written by Alex Pomson and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jewish Family: Identity and Self-Formation at Home Alex Pomson and Randal F. Schnoor advance a new appreciation for the deep significance of Jewish family in developing Jewish identity. This book is the result of ten years of research focused on a small sample of diverse families. Through their work, the authors paint an intricate picture of the ecosystem that the family unit provides for identity formation over the life course. They draw upon theories of family development as well as sociological theories of the transmission of social and cultural capital in their analysis of the research. They find that family networks, which are often intergenerational, are just as significant as cultural capital, such as knowledge and competence in Judaism, to the formation of Jewish identity. Pomson and Schnoor provide readers with a unique view into the complexity of being Jewish in North America today.

Download or read book Jewish Families written by Jonathan Boyarin and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From stories of biblical patriarchs and matriarchs and their children, through the Gospel’s Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and to modern Jewish families in fiction, film, and everyday life, the family has been considered key to transmitting Jewish identity. Current discussions about the Jewish family’s supposed traditional character and its alleged contemporary crisis tend to assume that the dynamics of Jewish family life have remained constant from the days of Abraham and Sarah to those of Tevye and Golde in Fiddler on the Roof and on to Philip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint. Jonathan Boyarin explores a wide range of scholarship in Jewish studies to argue instead that Jewish family forms and ideologies have varied greatly throughout the times and places where Jewish families have found themselves. He considers a range of family configurations from biblical times to the twenty-first century, including strictly Orthodox communities and new forms of family, including same-sex parents. The book shows the vast canvas of history and culture as well as the social pressures and strategies that have helped shape Jewish families, and suggests productive ways to think about possible futures for Jewish family forms.
Download or read book Jewish Family Education as a Vehicle for Jewish Identification Family Cohesion and Congregational Bonding written by Steven M. Fink and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theological principle undergirding this study maintains that God is desirous of our creating, sustaining, and perpetuating strong and vibrant Jewish individuals, families, congregations, and Jewish communities. The challenge facing the synagogue is how to strengthen the Jewish family, how to assist it in transmitting Jewish identity, and how to create bonds between the disparate family units that make up a congregation. This study examines the process of Jewish identity formation. It stresses the role of the family in creating Jewish identity. It looks at the Jewish family from historical and sociological perspectives and investigates the contemporary situation of the American Jewish family. The most important conclusion reached in this study is that Jewish families have the most important role in communicating Jewish identity. The study goes on to examine the role of the synagogue in supporting the family. This study will show that Jewish family education is an effective strategy for meeting the contemporary challenges facing Jewish families, synagogues, and their rabbis.
