A feminist project that privileges the Babylonian Talmudic tractate
as culturally significant. While the use of feminist analysis as a
methodological lens is not new to the study of Talmudic literature
or to the study of individual tractates, this book demonstrates
that such an intervention with the Babylonian Talmud reveals new
perspectives on the rabbis' relationship with the temple and its
priesthood. More specifically, through the relationships most
commonly associated with home, such as those of husband-wife,
father-son, mother-son, and brother-brother, the rabbis destabilize
the temple bayit (or temple house). Moving beyond the view that the
temple was replaced by the rabbinic home, and that rabbinic rites
reappropriate temple practices, a feminist approach highlights the
inextricable link between kinship, gender, and the body, calling
attention to the ways the rabbis deconstruct the priesthood so as
to reconstruct themselves.
