In Judaism, "roles" are defined by the laws which apply to any given member of society. Most laws apply to everyone, some only to women, some only to men, some only to people in specific situations.

In ancient times, the male was the sole breadwinner, as well as the head of the household. Likewise, all political and legal systems were run exclusively by men. There were some exceptions such as Deborah who served as a judge in the time of the prophets.

In recent times, with the modernization of civilization in general, women have taken a much more dominant role in family life as well as in community leadership.

Do women have equal roles in judaism?

Answer 1Orthodox Judaism does not allow women to have equal roles. They believe they're in charge of the synagogue and the women are in charge of the home and raising their children.Answer 2The question of equality in Religious Judaism is not one about two people being able to perform the same tasks, but about people performing tasks of equal value. For example, who would say that a soldier who is part of an offensive strike against the enemy is not equal in valor, prestige, and patriotism to the soldier who stays within the nation's borders and fights on the defensive front. Answer 1 notes that the role of men and women in Religious Judaism are different, but does not make clear whether the role of women is worse than that of men.In nearly all forms of Liberal Judaism, women do have the same roles as men and are clearly their equals in the modern Western understanding of the term.
