  • Parent-initiated posthumous-assisted reproduction revisited in light of the interest in genetic origins

    Riki Halamish‐leshem, Vardit RavitskyARTICLEJournal of Medical Ethics2023

    A rich literature in bioethics argues against the use of anonymous gamete donation in the name of the ‘interest in knowing one’s genetic origins’. This interest stems from medical as well as psychosocial and identity reasons. The term ‘genealogical bewilderment’ has been coined to express the predicament of those deprived of access to information about their origins. Another rich body of literature in bioethics discusses arguments for and against…

  • Marketing of donor eggs by offering possibilities for imaginary actualization of recipients’ ideal self

    Open AccessRiki Halamish‐leshemARTICLEJournal of Consumer Culture2023References: 19

    Donor eggs have become commercialized and egg agencies mediate between egg consumers and donors. Despite the rapid growth of this industry, there is a paucity of research focusing on the imaginary aspects of the marketing strategies employed in the egg donation commerce. This article is based on a content analysis of American egg donor profiles. Inspired by Baudrillardian theory, I analyze the marketing strategy and show how egg donors are perfec…

    Kidney transplantation has developed to the stage where it is currently the most cost-effective treatment for patients suffering from end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and, when available, offers them the highest quality of life. Yet, kidney transplantation is challenged by cultural and traditional beliefs; thus, this study sought to evaluate the willingness to pay for a kidney transplant in a culturally sensitive population. A self-administered su…

  • Violating Religious Prohibitions to Preserve Family Harmony and Lineage among Sunni Muslims

    Riki Halamish‐leshem, Ya'Arit Bokek-Cohen et al.ARTICLEMarriage & Family Review2022References: 37

    This qualitative study draws on the ecological theory and the context-informed perspective to explore the experience of being in a situation where there is a contradiction between the societal expectations of childbearing and the wish to obey Islamic ruling that prohibits third-party gamete donation. We conducted face-to-face interviews with twenty-five Sunni Muslim women who underwent third-party gamete donation treatments in two Middle Eastern …

Ten transplant coordinators who have worked for more than 20 years in this job were recruited by using a purposive sampling technique. The transplant coordinators spoke of negative…

  • Commemoration labour as a mechanism of symbolic violence exercised upon national widows

    Ben-Asher, Smadar Ben-Asher et al.ARTICLEMortality2021

    This study aims to examine the experience of national widows, who are expected by the state to practice commemoration labor. We claim that the state puts pressure on the widows, either openly or covertly, to perform commemoration labor, thereby depriving them of their right to private grief suited to their personality and needs. It is further claimed that the demand on the widows for commemoration labor corresponds closely to the phrase coined by…

  • Negative Symbolic Capital and Politicized Military Widowhood

    Ben-Asher, Smadar Ben-Asher et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political & Military…2020

    This article presents the diametrically opposed experience of politicized wid­owhood of Jewish and Muslim Bedouin war widows. Widows in both sectors were interviewed regarding their perceived experiences of widowhood. While Jewish war widows are glorified and become national symbols, Bedouin wid­ows are subject to marginalization and exclusion and cannot take advantage of the unique benefits they are accorded as war widows by the state. The artic…

  • Couples Who Disobeyed the Caste-Like Marital Prohibitions in Israel

    Open AccessRiki Halamish‐leshemARTICLEIndian Journal of Gender Studies2020References: 7

    This article uses a feminist human rights approach and focusses on one of the most painful experiences in intimate relationships, unveiling a hitherto unexplored type of human rights infringement for divorced women, namely the right to establish a family in Israel, purported to be a democratic state. This phenomenon is based on religious marriage rules and prohibitions that include, inter alia, the classification of Jews into 10 hierarchical pedi…

  • Commemoration labor as emotional labor

    Ben-Asher, Riki Halamish‐leshemARTICLEGender Place & Culture2020References: 12

    The feminist literature addresses the various modes of gendered militarizing of women’s lives; however, little attention has been paid to the issue of militarization of national widows’ emotional lives. This study aims at exploring the experience of being a national widow and examining how national widows’ lives are militarized even after the husband’s death. By analyzing Jewish Israeli national widows’ narratives, we show how these widows are ex…

  • Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and unwillingness to donate organs post-mortem

    Mahdi Tarabeih, Riad Abu-Rakia et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2020References: 3

    Willingness to donate organs is contingent upon knowledge about and attitude toward organ donation. In order to explore differences between members of the three monotheistic religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, a nation-wide survey was conducted in Israel. Members of all three religions expressed a very low willingness to donate organs postmortem. They had similar levels of knowledge regarding organ donation and similar negative attitudes…

  • The Infringement of the Right to Establish a Family for Jewish Spouses Who Are Mutually Proscribed from Marrying Each Other

    Riki Halamish‐leshem, Ya’arit Bokek-CohenARTICLEMarriage & Family Review2020References: 30

    The article focuses on one of the most painful experiences in intimate relationships and unveils a hitherto unexplored type of human right infringement, namely the right to establish a family in Israel, purported to be a democratic state. Thousands of couples are proscribed from marrying each other every year in Israel. This paper focuses on Jewish couples consisting of male Cohanim (descendants of Jewish priests) and female divorcées, as one amo…

  • Liminality and Emotional Labor among war widows in Israel

    Open AccessBen-Asher, Smadar Ben-Asher et al.ARTICLECulture & Psychology2019

    This article focuses on Israeli army widows from the religious-Zionist sector and the Bedouin sector. We show how these women are compelled by their cultural context to either suffer liminal identity or to invest in exhausting Emotional Labor and fake their authentic selves. The surrounding society expects much more Emotional Labor of religious-Zionist widows than of their Bedouin counterparts; in contrast, the societal status of Bedouin widows r…

  • How figurative language may be related to formal care-givers’ person-centred approach toward their patients with dementia

    Open AccessMiriam Ethel Bentwich, Riki Halamish‐leshem et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2019References: 39

    Person-centred care that respects a patient's personhood is the gold standard in dementia care, which is often difficult to achieve given the complexity of caring for people with dementia. This article delves into the narration style of formal care-givers from a variety of ethno-cultural backgrounds in search of linguistic cues that may be related to their emphasis on a person-centred approach to care. A qualitative study, using a discourse analy…

  • How does it feel to be an anti-martyr’s widow? The interplay of religious capital and negative symbolic capital of war widows

    Open AccessRiki Halamish‐leshem, Ya’arit Bokek-Cohen et al.ARTICLESocial Compass2018

    This article demonstrates the contrasting experiences of military widows in the modern Jewish Orthodox and the Bedouin sectors in Israel. While fallen Jewish soldiers are honored in a fashion similar to martyrs, Bedouin fallen soldiers are perceived as anti-martyrs; their anti-martyr status causes predicaments for their widows. While Jewish war widows are glorified, their Bedouin counterparts are subject to various modes of marginalization and ex…
