 Nashim was co-founded by the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, one of Israel’s leading academic centers from modern Jewish learning, including the Center for Women in Jewish Law, and The Hadassah-Brandeis Institute, the world’s first university-based research institute devoted to the study of Jews and gender. This journal provides an international, interdisciplinary academic forum—the only one of its kind—for the innovative work being done in Jewish women’s and gender studies. It regularly includes articles on literature, text studies, anthropology, archeology, theology, contemporary thought, sociology, the arts, and more.
Nashim creates communication channels within the
Jewish women’s and gender studies community and brings
the fruits of that community’s work to a wider audience.
Each issue is theme oriented and produced in consultation
with a distinguished feminist scholar. Some of the topics
discussed in past issues include Feminist Interpretations
of Rabbinic Literature; Gender, Food and Survival; Women,
War, and Peace in Jewish and Middle East contexts; and Autobiography
and Memoir.
Nashim is published twice a year by Indiana University
Press, which was founded in 1950 and is the largest publisher
among Big Ten presses and the tenth largest university press
in the country. Subscriptions for individuals are $25.00,
for Institutions are $45.00, for surface post outside of
the U.S. the charge is $11.50, and air mail outside the
U.S. is $23.00.
We wish to thank Annie Sandler and Leyla, Jessica, and Dylan Sandler with whose generous support has enabled us to publish Nashim.
