  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

Prior to this study, it was thus unclear if the findings of existing research on marital competence applied to OJ children of divorce.

  • Position Paper on Forced Marriage Analysis of Arranged Marriage As Practiced in Jewish Communities
    8th February 2021 Position Paper on Forced Marriage Analysis of Arranged Marriage as Practiced in Jewish Communities Forward The shidduch system of arranged marriage as practised in the Charedi (also known as Ultra-Orthodox) part of the Jewish community has worked for many people in a range of Charedi communities. It has brought joy, satisfaction and belonging to many Jewish couples and enriched their lives. This paper is written for people using the shidduch system of arranged marriage. This paper is also written for the Jewish community, including Jewish community organisations, and as well as those working in the wider VAWG sector. We seek to explain our concerns with some aspects of the shidduch system, and to demonstrate that elements of the shidduch system can create social pressure and coercion to marry, inhibiting a person’s capacity to consent to a marriage. We call on various agencies of the UK Government and other organisations to implement our recommendations. We explore how social pressures can fit with the term “Forced Marriage” as defined in UK legislation. We write as observant Jews, and we have undertaken this work to reduce the harms inflicted on individuals in our community. We are confident that our community has the confidence to consider our recommendations with nuanced reflection. Dozens of people have given freely of their time to help with the shaping and editing of this paper. Rabbis, academics, VAWG sector professionals, specialists in education, legal scholars, and advocates. We thank you all. We are indebted to those who have trusted us with their stories, without which this paper would have no soul.
