Introduction to the Domestic Work Industry Domestic workers are indispensable to the American economy. America’s families – including members of Reform congregations – depend on services provided by cleaning personnel, nannies, yard workers, and elder care workers. Domestic workers are common in American society. Yet, there are few laws governing their treatment and limited resources to assist families wrestling with the ethical issues that frequently arise around the employment of these workers. Jewish tradition and values can provide that ethical foundation and guidance for our congregants. The population of domestic workers employed throughout the country is unknown because it is difficult to survey workers in the informal labor sector. It is also hard to categorize domestic workers because the term “domestic worker” does not have a static definition. A domestic worker may or may not live in your home, may or may not be employed seasonally, and may perform any number of tasks not limited to helping with childcare, cooking, cleaning, and landscaping.

Actually, it was the first question raised during last night’s panel: How do we think about changing Jewish practice? How do we think about changing Jewish religious communities? So it’s obviously a topic that’s on a number of people’s minds, and we’ve been able to bring together a really great panel to discuss that with you. As always, the moderator will set the context for us, and then the panelists will speak with each other. And then we’ll get a chance to hear from all of you. I look forward to another really interesting conversation. We have with us today a particularly impressive moderator in Judith Plaskow, who, again, many of you already know. She is a professor of religious studies at Manhattan College and a Jewish feminist theologian. She has been teaching, writing and speaking about feminist studies in religion and Jewish feminism for over 30 years. She’s been a leader at the American Academy of Religion, and was, in fact, the president of the American Academy of Religion. With Carol Christ, she co-edited Womanspirit Rising: A Feminist Reader in Religion, and she edited Weaving The Visions: New Patterns in Feminist Spirituality, both anthologies of feminist theology used in many religious studies courses, as well as women’s studies courses. With Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza, she co-founded The Journal of Feminist Studies and Religion, which is a very important journal in religious studies.
