Judaism Confronts Wifebeating: From Biblical Times to Today

Since 1981, the months of October and November—especially November 25—have been marked worldwide as a time to raise awareness against gender-based violence. In this talk, I will explain why I became interested in the subject and explore how Jewish texts and traditions have addressed (or ignored) the issue of wife beating throughout history.

My book Silence is Deadly: Judaism Confronts Wifebeating, first published in 1998, was translated into Hebrew this year, opening new conversations in Israeli society about this painful but necessary topic.
