Focusing on the concepts of time and the life cycle, this
collection of articles examines Jewish life in the Talmudic period
through the lens of Jewish law and custom of the time. The essays
are the work of Nissan Rubin (one of them written in collaboration
with Admiel Kosman) and come together to present the cultural
perspective of the sages and scholars who produced the
stepping-stones of Jewish life and custom. By using a structural
approach, Rubin is able to identify processes of long-term change
in a society that remains largely traditional and stable. Symbolic
analysis supplies an additional dimension to these studies,
enabling the reader to experience the cultural subtexts.
