Presentation transcript:

The roles of men in Judaism Men are to put on The tallit, or prayer shawl, with its fringes or tassels known as tzitzit. They commanded in the Torah to put on this. Many young men receive their first tallit on their 13th birthday as a Bar Mitzvah present.

They are …… 1.Teacher Rabbis are usually men. They can conduct funerals and wedding ceremonies, but they are more like a teachers who are well-versed in the Torah and all aspects of the Jewish religion. 2. Prayer Leader/chazzan The prayer leader in Judaism, is a male who is well-versed in the prayers and melodies of the Jewish religion. The Chazan is the one who inspires as he leads the congregation in prayer and shares the duty of conducting funerals and wedding ceremonies with the rabbi. Any male member of a congregation can assume the role of the Chazan to lead a service if he thinks himself able.

They are……. 3. Family Member Jewish men are 1.the head of their household 2.To provide for their wife and children. -In fact, prior to getting married, a Jewish man must sign a "Ketuvah," (a marriage contract) that dictates that the man will provide food and clothing for his wife during their marriage. -Even though the male may be placed in the power role in the family, it is a role that he cannot abuse without breaking his familial contract.

The men as Jews….  They are to obey the laws, such as to honor your parents, refrain from stealing, and to observe the Sabbath, apply to men. Women are exempted from many of the religious rituals (though they may perform them if they wish).  They are to be counted toward the minimum quorum of ten people (a "minyan") required for communal prayer, since their prayer requirements are more extensive than women's (Orthodox synagogues ).

As Husbands The men are providers of their wives with adequate food, clothing and pleasurable sex. Jewish men are to treat their wives with respect kindness. They are to marry only one wife] One only for one man

As Fathers  Jewish fathers provide their children with religious education, swimming lessons, and, in the case of a boy, circumcision In the absence of a father to provide these things, the responsibility generally falls on the mother.  Fathers provide their children with the best available general education as well, to prepare for future professions. [Practical subjects]

As Scholars and Religious Leaders  Traditionally, men were charged with the responsibility (and privilege) of studying Talmud and Torah, the text which forms the basis of rabbinic Judaism.  Historically, only men became rabbis or synagogue presidents, though in most streams of Judaism this has changed.  In the Orthodox world today, some sub-sects encourage women to learn Talmud as well, and grant them leadership positions (except the title of "rabbi").

Changes in Modern Society  Jews do not live in a vacuum, and a man's perceived responsibilities at home and in the working world are greatly influenced by the expectations of his surrounding culture.  Expectations regarding child care, household work and income vary by region and generation. Members of the progressive streams of Judaism generally take their cues from trends in Western culture.  The Orthodox communities are intentionally more immune to such influences, but even there, expectations have changed, particularly among the Modern Orthodox in Western societies.

The roles of Women The woman's role in Judaism is much more varied than it used to be. (internal) They raise children and care for their husbands. However, this is changing as women have more opportunities in the world.

More Roles/duties Keeper of the Home. H istorically the home is a major focus for any Jewish wife and mother. lighting the candles to welcome the Sabbath and Jewish festivals, and ensuring the house is ready for festivals, especially Passover, which has its own set of dietary guidelines.

More roles still A Jewish woman is charged with maintaining a Kosher home Keeping to the law in the domestic environment is every bit as important to Judaism as praying at the synagogue.

More again Business woman and Scholar Judaism suggests that women possess intuition, understanding and intelligence. This places women in a good position to work in business roles. Women had the right to buy, sell, and own property, and make their own contracts, Proverbs 31:10-31, which is traditionally read at Jewish weddings, speaks repeatedly of business acumen as a trait to be prized in women."

Roles of women in Judaism Traditionally, women's participation at synagogue is limited, because the Torah does not place any actual obligation on women to attend formal religious services. The Torah, or Old Testament, and rabbinical writings present the woman as learned, wise and able to educate and inspire her husband and family about spiritual matters

Major role women traditionally raise the children, they are excused from fulfilling any time-based commandments, such as praying in the morning, on the theory that women must adhere to their children's schedule and not to the commandments' schedule. They are also excused from commandments such as reading the Torah and studying Jewish law because these are non-domestic activities.
