More specifically, through the relationships most commonly associated with home, such as those of husband-wife, father-son, mother-son, and brother-brother, the rabbis destabilize the temple bayit (or temple house). Moving beyond the view that the temple was replaced by the rabbinic home, and that rabbinic rites reappropriate temple practices, a feminist approach highlights the inextricable link between kinship, gender, and the body, calling attention to the ways the rabbis deconstruct the priesthood so as to reconstruct themselves.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003e“Happy families may all be alike, but the priestly family is unhappy in its own ways, shows Marjorie Lehman in her fine-grained readings of Babylonian Talmud Tractate Yoma. Lehman’s story is one of patriarchy and hierarchy, but also of vulnerability and reflection, as the tractate turns towards the practices of self-affliction that, until today, characterize the day of atonement. Tractate Yoma reads, if not quite like a novel or poem, then like a series of meditations on the shifting meanings of home and the anxieties about continuity and control. You will leave Bringing Down the Temple House never thinking the same way again about ‘the house’ as a Jewish cultural topos.” -- Beth Berkowitz, Barnard College, author of Animals and Animality in the Babylonian Talmud\u003cbr\u003e“Strikingly original. Lehman brings to bear a feminist lens to demonstrate how one group of men (the rabbis) critiques and wrestles with the legacy of another group of men (the priests). Feminist attention to the constitutive relationships of the household (husband-wife, father-son, mother-son) illuminates the anxieties and tensions that play out as the rabbis claim the mantel of religious leadership from their priestly rivals.” -- Elizabeth Shanks Alexander, author of Gender and Timebound Commandments in Judaism\u003cbr\u003e“Lehman persuasively demonstrates that the theme ‘house’ runs uniquely and distinctively through Bavli Tractate Yoma, read holistically as a self-contained literary unit. With an erudite combination of academic Talmud criticism and feminist and gender analysis, Lehman shows the many gendered paths Bavli Yoma takes to disconnect the rabbinic ‘house’ from a Temple ‘house’ for which she perceptively detects a lack of rabbinic nostalgia.” -- Alyssa Gray, Professor of Rabbinics, Hebrew Union College-JIR\u003cbr\u003e“Through insightful analyses, compelling argumentation, and beautiful prose, Lehman mines Tractate Yoma’s structure, content, and imagery to reveal the intricate connections that the rabbis drew between gender, the home, and the temple. A model of what can be learned when we read the Talmud as literature and bring feminist analysis to ancient texts, and an absolute pleasure to read.” -- Sarit Kattan Gribetz, Fordham University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Unsettling the Temple Bayit\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Violence in the Temple: Father Priests and Their Sons\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Mothers and Sons: Broken Houses\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: From Inside Out: Kimhit’s House\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Intergenerational Transmission and the Problem of Mothers\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Sexuality Inside and Outside the Temple House\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Sustaining the Rabbinic Household\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Vulnerable Bodies in Vulnerable Houses\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Purity and Impurity: From Priest to Rabbi\u003cbr\u003eAfterword\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Brandeis University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740873699671,"sku":"9781684580897","price":30.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781684580897.jpg?v=1720055887"},{"product_id":"the-practical-talmud-dictionary-9781592644513","title":"The Practical Talmud Dictionary","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Toby Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867669967191,"sku":"9781592644513","price":21.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"koren-talmud-bavli-berkahot-volume-1b-daf-17b-34b-noe-color-pb-h-e-9789657765234","title":"Koren Talmud Bavli, Berkahot Volume 1b, Daf","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Koren Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48869588992343,"sku":"9789657765234","price":9.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"akedah-the-binding-of-isaac-9781568218991","title":"Akedah: The Binding of Isaac","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eThis is an in-depth study of a biblical story that excites curiosity while repelling readers with the thought that Abraham was ready to express his obedience to God by sacrificing his own son.   The story of the Akedah, Abraham's binding and near sacrifice of his son, Isaac, is one of the most enigmatic passages of the Bible. Not only a story of Abraham's devotion to God, this biblical episode reflects the classic tension between generations. Louis A. Berman uses his training as a psychologist and his personal experience as a father to craft his intensive inquiry into the Akedah.   The Akedah: The Binding of Isaac opens with a careful reading of Genesis 22, taking time to discuss crucial words and phrases. However, an understanding of Genesis 22 hinges not only on knowing the episode itself, but on knowing what surrounds it. Therefore, the reader is systematically acquainted with the biblical context of the story, and with significant biblical concepts that give the story its meaning.   The binding of Isaac lends itself to countless interpretations, and chapters of The Akedah are devoted to many of them. The interpretations explored? martyrdom, atonement, the test of obedience, response to disaster, and the sanctity of human life are drawn from a broad range of sources. The multitude of interpretations of the Akedah is part of what makes the event so accessible to a diverse number of readers.   This is an in-depth study of a biblical story that excites curiosity while repelling readers with the thought that Abraham was ready to express his obedience to God by sacrificing his own son. Louis A. Berman examines the place of the Akedah story in world mythology, in history, in psychology, in Christian and Islamic thought, in art and music, and in the literature of England, America, and Israel.","brand":"Jason Aronson Inc.

The Art of Disagreement is an innovative and provocative analysis of the intellectual art and practice of Talmud, exemplified by the fifteenth-century Castilian commentator, Izh.ak(DOT UNDER H) Canpanton. Embracing a sophisticated conceptual methodology, Dolgopolski sets talmudic rhetoric in contrast to the dominant Western philosophical concern for agreement. Influenced by Nietzsche and Heidegger, the author combines philology and anthropology in an attempt to provide an alternative to viewing the Talmud primarily as a traditional source or a historical object. This work of speculative juxtaposition promises to expand the horizon of philosophic hermeneutics and rabbinic dialectic, and to highlight the value of disagreement to human discourse more generally: not only is it important to agree to disagree, but it is precisely disagreement that facilitates a deeper sense of agreement.\" -- -Elliot R.

An avowedly secular Jew, Kirsch did not have a religious source for his interest in the Talmud; rather, as a student of Jewish literature and history, he came to realize that he couldn’t fully explore these subjects without some knowledge of the Talmud. This book is perfect for readers who are in a similar position. Most people have little sense of what the Talmud actually is—how the text moves, its preoccupations and insights, and its moments of strangeness and profundity. As a critic and journalist Kirsch has experience in exploring difficult texts, discussing what he finds there, and why it matters.

More specifically, through the relationships most commonly associated with home, such as those of husband-wife, father-son, mother-son, and brother-brother, the rabbis destabilize the temple bayit (or temple house). Moving beyond the view that the temple was replaced by the rabbinic home, and that rabbinic rites reappropriate temple practices, a feminist approach highlights the inextricable link between kinship, gender, and the body, calling attention to the ways the rabbis deconstruct the priesthood so as to reconstruct themselves.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003e“Happy families may all be alike, but the priestly family is unhappy in its own ways, shows Marjorie Lehman in her fine-grained readings of Babylonian Talmud Tractate Yoma. Lehman’s story is one of patriarchy and hierarchy, but also of vulnerability and reflection, as the tractate turns towards the practices of self-affliction that, until today, characterize the day of atonement. Tractate Yoma reads, if not quite like a novel or poem, then like a series of meditations on the shifting meanings of home and the anxieties about continuity and control. You will leave Bringing Down the Temple House never thinking the same way again about ‘the house’ as a Jewish cultural topos.” -- Beth Berkowitz, Barnard College, author of Animals and Animality in the Babylonian Talmud\u003cbr\u003e“Strikingly original. Lehman brings to bear a feminist lens to demonstrate how one group of men (the rabbis) critiques and wrestles with the legacy of another group of men (the priests). Feminist attention to the constitutive relationships of the household (husband-wife, father-son, mother-son) illuminates the anxieties and tensions that play out as the rabbis claim the mantel of religious leadership from their priestly rivals.” -- Elizabeth Shanks Alexander, author of Gender and Timebound Commandments in Judaism\u003cbr\u003e“Lehman persuasively demonstrates that the theme ‘house’ runs uniquely and distinctively through Bavli Tractate Yoma, read holistically as a self-contained literary unit. With an erudite combination of academic Talmud criticism and feminist and gender analysis, Lehman shows the many gendered paths Bavli Yoma takes to disconnect the rabbinic ‘house’ from a Temple ‘house’ for which she perceptively detects a lack of rabbinic nostalgia.” -- Alyssa Gray, Professor of Rabbinics, Hebrew Union College-JIR\u003cbr\u003e“Through insightful analyses, compelling argumentation, and beautiful prose, Lehman mines Tractate Yoma’s structure, content, and imagery to reveal the intricate connections that the rabbis drew between gender, the home, and the temple.

Faced with stories of sexual violence, enslavement, forced prostitution, disability, and bodily risk, Belser argues, our readings of rabbinic narrative must wrestle with the brutal body costs of Roman imperial domination. She brings disability studies, feminist theory, and new materialist ecological thought to accounts of rabbinic catastrophe, revealing how rabbinic discourses of gender, sexuality, and the body are shaped in the shadow of empire.Focusing on the Babylonian Talmud''s longest sustained account of the destruction of the Temple, Belser reveals Bavli Gittin''s distinctive sex and gender politics. While Palestinian tales frequently castigate the ''wayward woman'' for sexual transgressions that imperil the nation, Bavli Gittin''s stories do not portray women''s sexuality as a cause of catastrophe. The Bavli''s resistance to Rome makes a critical difference. While other rabbinic texts commonly inveigh against women''s beauty as the cause of sexual sin, Bavli Gittin''s tales express a strikingly egalitarian discourse that laments the vulnerability of the beautiful Jewish body before the conqueror. Bavli Gittin''s body politics, Belser maintains, align with a significant theological reorientation. While most early Jewish narratives link the destruction of the Temple to communal sin, Bavli Gittin''s account does not explain catastrophe as divine chastisement. Instead of imagining God as the architect of Jewish suffering, it evokes God''s empathy with the subjugated Jewish body. As it navigates the ruins of Jerusalem, Bavli Gittin forges a sharp critique of empire. Its critical discourse aims to pierce the power politics of Roman conquest, to protest the brutality of imperial dominance, and to make plain the scar that Roman violence leaves upon Jewish flesh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eOverall, this book is an important intervention in rabbinic studies.

Er bietet eine Fülle an Material über im Land Israel angebaute Früchte und ihre Verarbeitung. Die Beziehungen zu Leuten, die die Gesetze nicht streng beachten sowie Pacht-und Kaufvorschriften für Felder von Juden, Samaritanern und Nichtjuden nehmen einen breiten Raum ein. Besonders wichtig sind geographische Beschreibungen mit genauen Angaben, innerhalb welcher Gebiete welche Vorschriften zu beachten sind. Diese Texte sind eine wichtige Quelle für die Verbreitung der jüdischen Bevölkerung bis zum Beginn des 5. Jahrhunderts. Der Traktat hat keine Gemara im babylonischen Talmud und bietet deswegen viel eigenständiges Material.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default
