Feminist Torah commentary

Feminist Torah commentary refers to the analysis and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible from a feminist perspective. It seeks to uncover and challenge traditional viewpoints that may marginalize women's roles and experiences in religious texts. By applying feminist theory, scholars highlight the contributions of women in biblical narratives, advocate for inclusive readings, and address themes such as power dynamics, gender roles, and social justice. This approach aims to create a more equitable understanding of scripture, enriching both Jewish scholarship and contemporary religious practice by acknowledging and valuing women's voices and experiences within the texts.
