  • Marriage, Divorce, and Domestic Violence in Israel's Orthodox Communities
    University of Puget Sound Sound Ideas Writing Excellence Award Winners Student Research and Creative Works Spring 2018 Marriage, Divorce, and Domestic Violence in Israel's Orthodox Communities Brea Kaye Follow this and additional works at: https://soundideas.pugetsound.edu/writing_awards Marriage, Divorce, and Domestic Violence in Israel’s Orthodox Communities Brea Kaye P&G 360 University of Puget Sound Abstract This policy paper examines the intersections between domestic violence and the sovereignty Israeli religious courts have over family law. It analyzes the engrained Jewish traditions and values of Gets, Agunah, and Shalom Bayit. It later seeks to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ explain the contradictions between the civil and religious court systems and illustrate comparisons between the Israeli Orthodox community and Hasidic community of New York City. Finally, it illustrates that domestic violence legislation, gender dynamics, and the imposing nature of male-dominated rabbinical courts maintain a culture of domestic violence in Orthodox Israeli communities. With this analysis, the author concludes the need for comprehensive social programs and education, cultural change, and court reform in order to break the cycle of violence. Introduction Domestic violence, intimate partner violence, domestic abuse, or relationship abuse (all terms which can be used interchangeably) are “pattern[s] of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship” (National Domestic Violence Hotline). Domestic violence can be understood as physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual or reproductive coercion, financial abuse, and spiritual abuse (NDVH, Dehan & Levi, 2009, 1294). This problem exists in every community and affects women's mental, physical, economic, and social health across the globe.

All requests for other reproduction rights should be addressed to the author. DRAFT Guide to Practical Halacha and Home Ritual For Conservative Jews Preface Many Conservative Jews have a strong desire to learn some practical and ritual halacha (Jewish law) but have no ready source of succinct information. Often the only readily available books or web sites present an Orthodox viewpoint. This Guide is meant to provide an introduction to selected practical halachic topics from the viewpoint of Conservative Judaism. In addition, it gives some instruction on how to conduct various home rituals, and gives basic guidance for some major life events and other situations when a Rabbi may not be immediately available. Halacha is a guide to living a religious, ethical and moral life of the type expected and required of a Jew. Halacha covers all aspects of life, including, for example, food, business law and ethics, marriage, raising children, birth, death, mourning, holidays, and prayer.
