Chizhik-Goldschmidt, Avital. “Let Me Hear Thy Voice.” Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies, vol. 38, no. 2, Summer 2020, pp. 273–275. EBSCOhost, doi:10.5703/shofar.38.2.0273.

In this post, Avital vents about the challenges as a writer about the culture to which she belongs. Fearless, Avital comments on the prejudice within orthodox Jewish culture that is not friendly when confronted by women. Besides, Avital voices criticism of the U.S. and Jewish government as they both view the media as enemies of the state without crediting its functionality. Perhaps the text can be useful to exemplify the female role within Orthodox Judaism.

Creeger, Rachel. “Eat, Pray, Laugh.” Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies, vol. 38, no. 2, Summer 2020, pp. 263–268. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1353/sho.2020.0029.

Rachel is a Jewess with orthodox roots who, in this short text, recounts her experiences throughout her professional career. She cites examples of how religiosity becomes a barrier within a community and avoids conflicts between her work and her beliefs. She scoffs that her personality has always resisted the disfavor of women within Judaism. Perhaps the text has some relevance to my research and can support an argument about gender discrimination or something further.

This article has the potential to improve this Wikipedia subject on gender separation because the author addresses the feminism apparition in Judaism and how it is perceived as a dangerous threat because of its seemingly radical challenge to sacred Jewish values.

TURRO, J. C. "Bar Mitzvah ." New Catholic Encyclopedia. . Encyclopedia.com. 11 Aug. 2020 .

This source of information provides an essential basis for understanding a common practice in Judaism called Bar Mitzvah, an initiation ceremony to commit a Jewish boy to the duties and responsibilities of a Jew in the religious community. Adding this information to the gender article would help understand that such a behavioral culture separating gender begins in childhood.
