The tractate Keritot of the Babylonian Talmud belongs to the Order
of Qodashim in the Mishnah. It discusses the Temple and its
rituals, especially sacrifices, but deals mostly with laws of
incest, sexual transgressions, childbirth, and miscarriages. In
this commentary, Federico Dal Bo provides a historical,
philological and philosophical investigation on these gender
issues. He discusses almost the entire tractate, referring to many
other sources, Jewish (the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Sifra, and other
rabbinic texts) as well as non-Jewish (Akkadian, Hittite, and
Ugaritic). The author also provides accurate philological
observations both on the Mishnah and the Gemara. Finally, he
addresses gender issues by combining a reductionistic approach to
Talmudic study (the so called "Brisker method") with philosophical
deconstruction. Dal Bo shows that in nearly the entire tractate
Keritot the rabbis discuss human sexuality in a tendentious and
restrictive way, claiming that heterosexuality is the only proper
sexual contact and progressively stigmatizing any other kind of
sexual behavior.
