Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Tal Ilan discusses tractate Ta'anit of the Babylonian Talmud, which deals with ritual fasting, usually in the case of rain failure. In this commentary, the author presents and discusses texts from the tractate which are relevant to women and gender. These include legal proclamations on the participation of women in public fasts, stories on pious men, whose proper conduct toward women make them ideal intermediaries for bringing rain and discussions of gendered rabbinic terms such as Bat Qol, usually translated as 'heavenly voice' but which literally translated means 'a daughter's voice'. The overall impression of this tractate is that it emphasizes the way the relationship between rainfall and the dry ground was imagined by the rabbis in a gendered metaphor of sexual relations in which rain is male and the land is female. This theme repeats itself in the tractate throughout. The Order of Moed in the Mishnah and Babylonian Talmud outlines the way Jews celebrate their festivals. It is well known among feminists that Jewish life is not the same for men and women. The purpose of this feminist commentary on Seder Moed is to outline gender differences as they are reflected in the mishnaic and talmudic texts. In this introductory volume women's participation in Jewish festivals is handled on a general and theoretic level. Various world-renown scholars discuss the role of women in the tractates of Seder Moed. With contributions by: Elizabeth S. Alexander, Cynthia M. Baker, Judith R. Baskin, Shaye J. D.
