Perhaps more than any other aspect of rabbinic literature the laws about and discussions of menstruation have polarized current discussions of gender relations in Jewish culture Is the designated impurity of menstruation sexist Or does ritual absence from sex during menstruation encourage a rhythmic reaffirmation of conjugal intimacy This book offers a new perspective on the extensive rabbinic discussions of menstrual impurity female physiology and anatomy and on the social and religious institutions those discussions engendered It analyzes the functions of these discussions within the larger textual world of rabbinic literature and in the context of Jewish and Christian culture in late antiquity How did gender workhow was it made to workin rabbinic literature How did that literature dictate the place of women in Jewish culture In search of answers to these questions the author analyzes the architectural metaphors deployed to describe female anatomy arguing that this discursive construction operated culturally to associate women with the home and exclude them from rabbinic study halls The author shows that rabbinic discourse is not completely controlled by rabbinic ideology however She analyzes talmudic discussions that allow alternative gender perspectives to emerge indicating that women and their bodies were not completely objectified This suggests that the Babylonian Talmud does not present a completely homogeneous gender structure but contains a number of different sometimes contradictory possibilities The book concludes with a study of early Christian texts that relate to the same biblical laws on menstrual impurity as rabbinic texts focusing in particular on a JewishChristian text in which the anonymous author polemicizes against Jewish women converts who remain attached to the biblical laws This text allows us to reconstruct womens perspectives on the inscription of religious meaning onto their bodies and physiological processes

Central to both biblical narrative and rabbinic commentary circumcision has remained a defining rite of Jewish identity a symbol so powerful that challenges to it have always been considered taboo Lawrence Hoffman seeks to find out why circumcision holds such an important place in the Jewish psyche He traces the symbolism of circumcision through Jewish history examining its evolution as a symbol of the covenant in the postexilic period of the Bible and its subsequent meaning in the formative era of Mishnah and Talmud In the rabbinic system Hoffman argues circumcision was neither a birth ritual nor the beginning of the human life cycle but a rite of covenantal initiation into a male life line Although the evolution of the rite was shaped by rabbinic debates with early Christianity the Rabbis shared with the church a view of blood as providing salvation Hoffman examines the particular significance of circumcision blood which in addition to its salvific role contrasted with menstrual blood to symbolize the gender dichotomy within the rabbinic system His analysis of the Rabbis views of circumcision and menstrual blood sheds light on the marginalization of women in rabbinic law Differentiating official mores about gender from actual practice Hoffman surveys womens spirituality within rabbinic society and examines the roles mothers played in their sons circumcisions until the medieval period when they were finally excluded
