The Healthy Jew traces the culturally revealing story of how Moses,
the rabbis, and other Jewish thinkers came to be understood as
medical authorities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Such
a radically different interpretation, by scholars and popular
writers alike, resulted in new, widespread views on the salubrious
effects of, for example, circumcision, Jewish sexual purity laws,
and kosher foods. The Healthy Jew explores this interpretative
tradition in the light of a number of broader debates over
'civilization' and 'culture, ' Orientalism, religion and science
(in the wake of Darwin), anti-Semitism and Jewish apologetics, and
the scientific and medical discoveries and debates that
revolutionized the fields of bacteriology, preventive medicine, and
genetics/eugenics.
