Abstract

In order to understand the relationship of Jewish religion and the Jewish family one has to examine some of the major basic sources dealing with Jewish life. The paper highlights selected commentaries related to the Jewish family, found in the Old Testament and the Talmud. The basic values related to the Jewish family as expounded by the Talmud are explained. The relationship of the celebration of Jewish religious holidays and family life are summarized, and the life cycle and its allied practices are noted. The paper concludes with a summary taken from the work of Nachum N. Glatzer, which explains the strengths inherent in classical Jewish family life.
