Rezension zu „Malka Landau, M: Tradition and Equality in Jewish Marriage “
Melanie Landau's book combines an impressive grasp of traditional text and contemporary theory, with the courage to move beyond the parameters of the current discourse. In analysing the problem of traditional non-reciprocal marriage, and also non-reciprocal divorce, Landau is guided by both her scholarly training and her strong moral beliefs. This book reads both as an insightful analysis of the way that Jewish tradition more or less successfully wrestled with the issues of non-reciprocal marriage (and its corollary the agunah or chained wife), but also as a journal of the way that Landau wrestled with the questions of fidelity to that tradition. This book will be an important part of any future discussion of marriage in Judaism. -- Aryeh Cohen, Associate Professor of Rabbinic Literature at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, American Jewish University, USA Landau does an excellent job explaining the opinions and arguments of different rabbinic traditions over the ages. The book speaks to traditional women looking to understand Jewish law in light of their contemporary sensibilities. -- Rabbi Rachel Esserman The Reporter Group
