What is the importance of family in Jewish daily life

Judaism recognises that each parent has something different to give to their children to contribute to their religious, educational, emotional, social and material needs.

In Orthodox Judaism, the role of women is generally seen as separate but of equal value. Women's obligations and responsibilities are different from men's, but no less important. The primary role of a woman is as wife and mother.

Reform Jews believe in the equality of men and women. Both husband and wife may work outside the home, take part in domestic work and raise the children.
