- Roles of men and woman
- In family
- Women light sabbath candles
- W not obliged to pray 3X a day or to wear tzizit/ tephilin
- Must both dress modestly: "Without modesty, there can be no intimacy"
- M & W are equal
- However, ORTHADOX jews believe they have specific roles
- W look after house/ family: "She gets up while it is dark; she provides food for the family" - Proverb 31
- Men earn money
- "Her husband has full confidence in her"
- REFORM jews believe ok 4 W to work aswell as do housework as can do what they want
- Times have changed so v. acceptable 4 W to have impotent/ high-paid job
- However, ORTHADOX jews believe they have specific roles
- In synagogue
- M/W sit separately (In Reform they can)
- W can not form part of minyan needed for certain prayers
- W not obliged/ meant to read the Torah (In Reform they can)
- Is ORTHADOX judaism sexist?
- Seems like men doing all important jobs
- W could be considered more spiritual by nature so don't need to pray
- Didn't want mitzvah to interfere with domestic role of women
- Not suitable 4 hard labour work - men physically stronger
- In family
