Beschreibungen
<p><b>2006 National Jewish Book Award, Modern Jewish Thought</b><br>Long the object of curiosity, admiration, and gossip, rabbis' wives have rarely been viewed seriously as American Jewish religious and communal leaders. We know a great deal about the important role played by rabbis in building American Jewish life in this country, but not much about the role that their wives played. <b>The Rabbi’s Wife</b> redresses that imbalance by highlighting the unique contributions of <i>rebbetzins</i> to the development of American Jewry.<br>Tracing the careers of <i>rebbetzins</i> from the beginning of the twentieth century until the present, Shuly Rubin Schwartz chronicles the evolution of the role from a few individual rabbis' wives who emerged as leaders to a cohort who worked together on behalf of American Judaism. <b>The Rabbi’s Wife</b> reveals the ways these women succeeded in both building crucial leadership roles for themselves and becoming an important force in shaping Jewish life in America.</p>
