Abstract

Footnotes 1 Reform Judaism in some parts of the world abandoned the ketuba entirely; elsewhere it devised a redaction which omits the business aspect. 1 A large group, found especially in the Mea Shearim section in Jerusalem. 2 I am, thank God, no authority on Freud. Let me set forth a guess: Freud was a Jew whose family had only a generation or two earlier emerged from the ghetto where celibacy, the romantic love of the age of chivalry, puritanism, and the doctrine of original sin were unknown. He came into contact with a tumultuous, ‘free’ society where these had once prevailed and still shaped the mores or the intuitions. Not himself inheriting any deterrent to sex, he found it quite natural to try to understand Western man's complicated deterrents and consequent enigmas about it. 1 Reform Jews simply rejected the binding power of Rabbinic tradition; they never asserted an authority over it so to change it. 2 I am reminded of an American musical comedy in which the President receives a cable from the governor of our Virgin Islands to change the name, because it is bad for business! 3 American law provides exemption from the military
