Concentrating on the special roles of mothers and children, it also advances recent efforts to write a comparative Jewish-Christian social history. Elisheva Baumgarten draws on a rich trove of primary sources to give a full portrait of medieval Jewish family life during the period of childhood from birth to the beginning of formal education at age seven. Illustrating the importance of understanding Jewish practice in the context of Christian society and recognizing the shared foundations in both societies, Baumgarten's examination of Jewish and Christian practices and attitudes is explicitly comparative. Her analysis is also wideranging, covering nearly every aspect of home life and childrearing, including pregnancy, midwifery, birth and initiation rituals, nursing, sterility, infanticide, remarriage, attitudes toward mothers and fathers, gender hierarchies, divorce, widowhood, early education, and the place of children in the home, synagogue, and community. A richly detailed and deeply researched contribution to our understanding of the relationship between Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors, Mothers and Children provides a key analysis of the history of Jewish families in medieval Ashkenaz. 410 0$aJews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World 606 $aChildbirth$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aMotherhood$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aJudaism$xCustoms and practices 606 $aParent and child$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 615 0$aChildbirth$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aMotherhood$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aJudaism$xCustoms and practices. 615 0$aParent and child$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 676 $a306.874/3/08992404 700 $aBaumgarten$b Elisheva$01014519 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790522003321 996 $aMothers and children$92364457 997 $aUNINA
