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. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aJudaism$xCustoms and practices 606 $aLife cycle, Human$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMidrash 606 $aSociology 606 $aAnthropology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudaism$xCustoms and practices. 615 0$aLife cycle, Human$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMidrash. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aAnthropology. 676 $a296.1/206 700 $aRubin$b Nissan$01044030 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457690303321 996 $aTime and life cycle in Talmud and Midrash$92474855 997 $aUNINA
