In her commentary Gail Labovitz thus considers such questions as: when considering whether particular forms of labour should or should not take place during the mid-festival or when one is in mourning, which gender's labour is considered significant, which is overlooked or taken for granted? How are practices that are meant to engender certain emotional states - joy in the festival, grief over a death - impacted by gender? How does gender guide who is mourned, and in what ways? She also explores women's unusually conspicuous and public role in funerals and mourning procedures as lamenters. Although Mo'ed Qatan is a short tractate, women, female characters both biblical and rabbinic, and issues of gender feature prominently throughout.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 165mmItem Length: 237mmItem Weight: 950gAuthor: Gail LabovitzGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Literary Criticism, Philosophy & Spirituality, Law & PoliticsBook Series: Feminist Commentary on the Babylonian TalmudRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
