ISBN-13: 978-1-58465-702-6, ISBN: 1-58465-702-2

"This fascinating interdisciplinary collection of essays brings gender issues to the foreground in order to redress a profound imbalance in the historiography of the Yishuv, the Jewish community in Palestine, and in the early years of the State of Israel. Although male discourse still dominates this field, some initial studies have begun to create an authentic and multifaceted Hebrew-Israeli voice by examining the activities and contribu ..."

"Ancient Jewish Folk Literature Reconsidered Galit Hasan-Rokem Ithamar Gruenwald ... Gruenwald focuses on the genre category of “legend” as a central problem in Ginzberg's conceptualization of the corpus, since it according to him isolates the materials in a literary, textual world and disconnects them from their contexts in the belief ...

Web of Life(1st Edition)
Folklore and Midrash in Rabbinic Literature (Contraversions: Jews and Other Differences)

ISBN-13: 978-0-8047-3227-7, ISBN: 0-8047-3227-2

"Web of Life weaves its suggestive interpretation of Jewish culture in the Palestine of late antiquity on the warp of a singular, breathtakingly tragic, and sublime rabbinic text, Lamentations Rabbah. The textual analyses that form the core of the book are informed by a range of theoretical paradigms rarely brought to bear on rabbinic literature: structural analysis of mythologies and folktales, performative approaches to textual product ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8143-4047-9, ISBN: 0-8143-4047-4

"At the beginning of the twentieth century, many perceived American Jewry to be in a state of crisis as traditions of faith faced modern sensibilities. Published beginning in 1909, Rabbi and Professor Louis Ginzberg's seven-volume "The Legends of the Jews" appeared at this crucial time and offered a landmark synthesis of aggadah from classical Rabbinic literature and ancient folk legends from a number of cultures. It remains a hugely inf ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-520-23453-6, ISBN: 0-520-23453-7

"In this lively and intellectually engaging book, Galit Hasan-Rokem shows that religion is shaped not only in the halls of theological disputation and institutions of divine study, but also in ordinary events of everyday life. Common aspects of human relations offer a major source for the symbols of religious texts and rituals of late antique Judaism as well as its partner in narrative dialogues, early Christianity, Hasan-Rokem argues.
