{"product_id":"jewish-family-the","title":"Jewish Family, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarefully arguing that many common assumptions about the traditional Jewish family are mistaken, this outstanding collection of essays--many previously unpublished--by thirteen leading scholars, explores the subject both in its historical reality and as it has been perceived and imagined by Jews over the centuries.  Writing for a conference held at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America the contributors, including Robert Alter, Mordecai Friedman, Paula Hyman,\n\u003cbr\u003eand Moshe Idel, reveal the Jewish family to be a variegated, rich, and complicated institution that has adapted and responded to the many different cultures in which Jews have made their homes.\n\u003cbr\u003eIndividual essays examine Jewish marriage in rabbinic, medieval, and modern times; marriage as a literary and artistic metaphor; childhood and adolescence in Judaism and the role of the mother as ethical instructor; and the Jewish family in the community, where different Jewish cultures have preserved central elements of the tradition while developing unique expressions of family life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156728901870,"sku":"9780195054675","price":364.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/jewish-family-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
