Ketubot No.2: Halakhic Woman
Manage episode 343500061 series 2976190
CW// sexual assault/r*pe
What do Talmudic texts about vaginal bleeding and sexual assault tell us about how the rabbis perceived women’s humanity and subjectivity? Is a true gender-egalitarian halakha even possible?
This is the second part of an interview. Listen to part one here.
Dr. Rebecca Kamholz holds a PhD in rabbinics from Yale University. Her areas of focus are gender theory and legal texts about women in the Babylonian Talmud. Her dissertation, Virginity in the Babylonian Talmud: Sex, Identity, and Epistemology, focused on legal and cultural questions around the definition and verification of virginity in the Talmud.
Special thanks to our executive producer, Adina Karp
