In this engaging book of commentary on the Talmud, the author
upends the long-held theory of the immutability of halakhah, Jewish
law. In her detailed analysis of over 80 short halakhic anecdotes
in the Babylonian Talmud, the author shows that the Talmud itself
promotes halakhic change. She leads the reader through one sugya
(discussion unit) after another, accumulating evidence for her
rather radical thesis. Along the way, she teases out details of
what life was like 1500 years ago for women in their relationships
with men and for students in their relationships with mentors. An
eye-opening read by one of today's leading Talmud scholars.
