					<description><![CDATA[In Israel, the Reform movement, which is called the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism (IMPJ), dates back to the 1950s, but a serious concern for women’s role in liturgy is a relatively recent development, namely since the last decade of the 20st century.

שאלות הקשורות במגדר ובמקומן של הנשים בתפילה הן מהשאלות המרתקות ביותר הקשורות בתפילות ישראל בימינו. מאמר זה דן באתגרים המיוחדים הקשורים בהתמודדות עם שאלות מגדר בליטורגיה הרפורמית הישראלית. יידונו בו העניינים הבאים: התייחסות מפורשת אל המתפללות בקהילה, הוספה של דמויות נשיות לצד דמויות גבריות בתפילה, חידוש טקסים ישנים ויצירת טקסי חיים חדשים והתמודדות עם דרכי הפניה לאל ועם המטאפורות שלו, שרבות מהן הן בעלות אופי מגדרי זכרי.<br />

Gender related issues have been discussed in liberal Judaism in North America since the seventies and are probably the most heated topic in contemporary Jewish liturgy and worship. This article discusses the unique challenges of gender language in Israeli Reform liturgy over the last two decades: inclusive language when referring to the congregation; adding representative female characters; reclaiming and adapting old rituals; creating new rituals; gender-balanced metaphors for God. Arguably the greatest challenge is altering the pronounced gender specification of the Hebrew language. The article delineates the parameters of gender language in Israeli liturgy, where the vernacular is both the Holy language and the language of the prayer.<br />

					<description><![CDATA[This completely egalitarian <em>ketubah</em> uses <em>nedarim</em>, vows before God which bear the full weight of Jewish law, as the central act of marriage, and uses the rings as symbols of those vows. It also details the steps which would be necessary to dissolve those <em>nedarim</em>, an important and integral part of the <em>ketubah</em>. The Hebrew is written in the feminine plural and should be adjusted if the text is used for different gender combinations.
