Holy Rebellion

More about the book

Examining the intersection of religion, gender, and law in Israel, the authors provide a nuanced analysis of social change and women's rights amid cultural transformations. They investigate the dynamics between progressive movements and conservative responses from the rabbinic establishment. Building on Robert Cover's theories, they introduce a "narrative ripeness test" to evaluate how state intervention influences change within minority communities. This exploration of emerging religious feminisms offers broader insights into the challenges faced by liberal states in addressing minority rights.
