Between Us: A Conclusion --Notes --Index of Ancient Sources and Authors --General Index --Index of Modern AuthorsIn this lively and intellectually engaging book, Galit Hasan-Rokem shows that religion is shaped not only in the halls of theological disputation and institutions of divine study, but also in ordinary events of everyday life. Common aspects of human relations offer a major source for the symbols of religious texts and rituals of late antique Judaism as well as its partner in narrative dialogues, early Christianity, Hasan-Rokem argues. Focusing on the "neighborhood" of the Galilee that is the birthplace of many major religious and cultural developments, this book brings to life the riddles, parables, and folktales passed down in Rabbinic stories from the first half of the first millennium of the Common Era.Taubman lectures in Jewish studies ;4.JewsIsraelGalileeFolkloreJewish legendsHistory and criticismRabbinical literatureHistory and criticismWomen in rabbinical literatureFolklore in rabbinical literatureGalilee (Israel)Social life and customsElectronic books.JewsJewish legendsHistory and criticism.Rabbinical literatureHistory and criticism.Women in rabbinical literature.Folklore in rabbinical literature.398.2/089/924Hasan-Rokem Galit860741MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455653203321Tales of the neighborhood2462842UNINA
