Silence
Is Deadly: Judaism Confronts Wifebeating
Naomi Graetz / Hardcover / Published 1998
An eye-opening exploration of Jewish domestic violence, Graetz's
well researched and amply documented work reveals [that] biblical concepts
and theological metaphors influenced the creation of rabbinic principles
and laws that, despite the ongoing opposition of some rabbis, continue
to support wifebeating as a permissible form of punishment and education.
