Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
Through the centuries, Rabbinic Judaism developed an elaborate set of rules for governing marriage and family life, grounded in the Hebrew Bible and adapted to the realities of life in diaspora. This complex and sophisticated system helps to explain the continuity of Jewish collective identity in the sustained absence of a shared territorial homeland. We will study together part of the Talmudic tractate Yevamot (concerning the Levirate marriage) and relevant passages from the code known as Shulchan Aruch, along with scholarship in English. Some reading knowledge of Rabbinic Hebrew-Aramaic required.
When Offered Fall.
Comments Some reading knowledge of Rabbinic Heberw-Aramaic required. Offered every other Fall.
Regular Academic Session. Combined with: ANTHR 3411, ANTHR 6411, JWST 3411, JWST 6411, NES 3411
