Erastich li b'tzedek: New Visions for the Halakhic Jewish Wedding by Lamelle & Rob Ryman is the paper we co-wrote as our final project for our Dorot Fellowship year in Israel. In it we explore the history of monogamy in Judaism and suggest ways to creatively push the boundaries of halakhah to maximize women's participation in the wedding service.
