ETHNOGRAPHY AND JEWISH ETHICS: Lessons from a Case Study in Reproductive Ethics Raucher, Michal S. 2016 The Journal of Religious Ethics , Vol. 44 , Issue 4 , S. 636 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0384-9694 | 1467-9795 Abstract
This essay offers a Jewish approach to ethnography in religious ethics. Following the work of other ethnographers working in religious ethics, I explore how an ethnographic account of reproductive ethics among Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish women in Jerusalem enhances and improves Jewish ethical discourse. I argue that ethnography should become an integral part of Jewish ethics for three reasons. First, with a contextual approach to guidance and application of law and norms, an ethnographic approach to Jewish ethics parallels the way ethical decisions are made on a daily basis in Jewish communities. Second, ethnography bolsters the voices of those involved in ethical discourse. Third, ethnography facilitates the bridge between local ethical questions and global ethical discourse.
