Abstract
The chapter on abuse in Judaism is both co-authored by and a dialogue between two Jewish women: one from the Reform and the other from the Charedi community. Together, they explore abuse in Jewish Scripture, with particular focus on gender-based and sexual(ised) violence, and on three biblical women characters: Bathsheva, Rizpah, and Dinah. The chapter also explores abusive interpretations of Jewish tradition and, briefly, the instances of sexual abuse in Jewish communities up to the present. It also offers a rallying cry for utilising Jewish Scripture to challenge abuse.
