In opposition to the perception of Judaism as a legal system, he argues that the Talmud demands inner spiritual effort, to which the trait of humility and the refinement of the ego are central. This leads to the question of the attitude to the Other, in general, and especially to women. The author shows that the Talmud places the woman (who represents humility and good-heartedness in the Talmudic narratives) above the character of the male depicted in these narratives as a scholar with an inflated sense of self-importance. In the last chapter (that in terms of its scope and content could be a freestanding monograph) the author employs the insights that emerged from the preceding chapters to present a new reading of the Creation narrative in the Bible and the Rabbinic commentaries. The divine act of creation is presented as a primal sexual act, a sort of dialogic model of the consummate sanctity that takes its place in man's spiritual life when the option of opening one's heart to the other in a male-female dialogue is realized. 410 0$aStudia Judaica (Walter de Gruyter & Co.) ;$vBd. 50. 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in rabbinical literature 606 $aMan-woman relationships 606 $aMasculinity$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aPsychoanalysis and religion 606 $aJudaism and psychoanalysis 606 $aJewish philosophy 610 $aClose Reading. 610 $aGender. 610 $aJewish Spirituality. 610 $aPsychoanalysis. 610 $aTalmudic Aggadah. 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in rabbinical literature. 615 0$aMan-woman relationships. 615 0$aMasculinity$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and religion. 615 0$aJudaism and psychoanalysis. 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 676 $a296.1/206082 676 $a296.1206082 700 $aKosman$b Admiel$f1957-$01575490 701 $aLevin$b Edward$01575491 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786435203321 996 $aGender and dialogue in the rabbinic prism ; translated translated from Hebrew by Edward Levin$93852496 997 $aUNINA
