This book traces the interpretive career of Leviticus 18:3, a verse
that forbids Israel from imitating its neighbors. Beth A. Berkowitz
shows that ancient, medieval and modern exegesis of this verse
provides an essential backdrop for today's conversations about
Jewish assimilation and minority identity more generally. The story
of Jewishness that this book tells may surprise many modern readers
for whom religious identity revolves around ritual and worship. In
Leviticus 18:3's story of Jewishness, sexual practice and cultural
habits instead loom large. The readings in this book are on a
micro-level, but their implications are far-ranging: Berkowitz
transforms both our notion of Bible-reading and our sense of how
Jews have defined Jewishness.
