In The Story of Dinah, Gavi S. Ruit examines the intersection of rape culture and Jewish tradition by tracing over two thousand years of Jewish commentary on Genesis 34, uncovering surprising and powerful insights about Jewish thought regarding women, rape, and women who have been violated.
The Story of Dinah examines the intersection of rape culture and Jewish tradition by tracing over two thousand years of Jewish commentary on Genesis 34. Using a definition of rape derived from the Hebrew Bible, Ruit scrutinizes the commentaries on the text for reflections of what would be deemed “rape myths” today. This book journeys through time and tradition as it uncovers the evolution of Jewish thought regarding women, rape, and women who have been violated. Every period examined, from the biblical account and the intertestamental writings all the way through to present day, reveals surprising and powerful insights about Jewish tradition and its attitudes towards women and sexual violation.
