Summary/Abstract: The presentation attempts to discover the sacred roots of traditional female and maternalroles embedded in the established, accepted, specified regulations and orders of parenting, asopposed to women’s career opportunities and the glass ceiling barrier to advancement present in modernity. In terms of value, in the area of men’s roles, female and parenting issues getseparated into in-house / within family / out-of-home worlds; domination of the male worldremains outside and creed related, while at home there is essentially a „female domination” inthe conventional sense of the word. Everything in the statutory and halachic provisions for girls’education serves to preserve mental-moral purity in order to protect the safety of the nuclearfamily; the relations within the kinship alliance balanced; the process of social integrationunobstructed. At the same time, these rules are expanding within the scope of alternative, reformand postmodern Judaism; the age of modernity is the legitimacy of social marginalization, postholocaust, lifestyle change, strongly diverging efforts in mobility activity (age group, networkof relationships, denominational life, value system), and secularization often takes place inthe same social space, the legitimacy of viewpoints that take into account the new criteria ofmodernity against rigid Torah-tracking.
