Product Description
<p>An incisive look at gender inequities in Jewish day schools.</p><p>Although recent scholarship has examined gender issues in Judaism with regard to texts, rituals and the rabbinate, there has been no full length study of Jewish children in day schools. Drawing on studies in education, social science, and psychology, as well as personal interviews, the authors show how traditional &nbsp;(mainly Orthodox) day school continues to re-inscribe gender inequities and to socialize students into unhealthy gender identities and relationships.. Drawing s stark picture of the many ways both girls and boys are molded into gender identities, the authors offer concrete resources and suggestions for transforming educational practice.</p><p><br></p>
