Essay / Research Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. Anti-Semitism is expressed in many forms and by many different people with the common denominator being discriminatory, disparaging and/or hostile attitudes toward Jews. While the typical understanding of anti-Semitism is most reflected as intolerance from people outside Jewry, most do not consider how Judaism has a history of discrimination against its own people - women. Therefore, the inferior status of women happened because of internal anti-Semitic attitudes that involved gender bias and not because of social or political tenets. If Jews had followed their own teachings, they would have recognized the inherent value of women rather than imposing harsh discrimination upon the very people who nurtured their children and tended to their husbands. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

shall be justified without consulting a judge in striking to death an insolent woman. II. RECONCILING VERSES WITH WHAT IS RIGHT If
the above verses had remained part of the canonical text of the Torah, the techniques rabbis might have used to modify their impact and reconcile them to the view of
what is right would have provided for a more equalizing relationship where Jewry was concerned. Ancient times reflect a period when Jewish women were more readily equated with chattel
than with their own human species; while the Bible is replete with examples of women who have rescued their male counterparts from impending doom (Moses/Miriam), it was still the law
of the land that women held no more rights than the family milk cow. The areas of education, literature and religion have long histories of restraint through the design
