Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is meant by gender discrimination, and why does Judaism oppose it?

    Model answer

    Gender discrimination means treating someone unfairly because of their sex. Judaism opposes it because men and women are equally made in God's image.

  2. 2

    What is The Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty?

    Model answer

    The Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty is a law passed by Israel's parliament, the Knesset, in 1992. The law protects every person's life, body and dignity.

  3. 3

    How does The Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty help protect women?

    Model answer

    The law does not name gender, but Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that dignity includes a right to equality. The law therefore helps protect women from discrimination.

  4. 4

    Which Israeli law of 1951 gave women equal rights?

    Model answer

    The Women's Equal Rights Law of 1951 gave Israeli women equal legal status with men.

    Miriam was a prophet who led the women in praise after the crossing of the sea. Deborah was a judge and prophet who led Israel.

    Who was Golda Meir?

    Model answer

    Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974. Golda Meir was one of the first women in the world to lead a government.
