Many of the Orthodox Jewish women\u2019s films focus on subjects that are voice-less in their community, and topics concerning women\u2019s sexuality are especially noteworthy here. Each in her own way, the filmmakers discussed at length in this article proclaim agency and ask questions concerning the traditionally silenced topic of sexuality. These women are devoted not to religion\u2019s status quo but to Judaism and to their Jewish community. The filmmakers know about the oppression of women in Orthodox Judaism, and they want change. They tend not to view their filmmaking as their inner voice versus their community\u2019s voice\u2014they embrace both and build a home for both.<\/p>\n<p>The issue\u2019s webpage can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.lib.purdue.edu\/shofar\/currentissue.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/docs.lib.purdue.edu\/shofar\/currentissue.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Valeria Seigelshifer and Professor Tova Hartman have recently published a study whose aim is to \u201cexamine how Orthodox women filmmakers negotiate their various personal commitments\u2014to themselves, their families, their [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":177,"template":"","class_list":["post-26874","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/friends\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/26874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/friends\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/friends\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/friends\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/friends\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
