About the Book

In this volume, Moshe Lavee offers an account of crucial internal developments in the rabbinic corpus, and shows how the Babylonian Talmud dramatically challenged and extended the rabbinic model of conversion to Judaism. The history of conversion to Judaism has long fascinated Jews along a broad ideological continuum. This book demonstrates the rabbis in Babylonia further reworked former traditions about conversion in ever more stringent direction, shifting the focus of identity demarcation towards genealogy and bodily perspectives. By applying a reading-strategy that emphasizes late Babylonian literary developments, Lavee sheds critical light on a broader discourse regarding the nature and boundaries of Jewish identity.


About the Author :
Moshe Lavee, is a lecturer of Rabbinic Literature and chair of the Cairo Genizah center and Digital Humanities program at the University of Haifa. He has published various articles on identity, conversion and gender in rabbinic literature as well as the reception of aggadic midrash as reflected in the Cairo Genizah.

Review :
No one to my knowledge has unpacked as clearly or as convincingly the Bavli’s integrated and interlocking ideas about converts and conversion to Judaism as well as explaining how it created the impression that its new ideas really were not new. This is for this reason an important work about conversion to Judaism in late antiquity and an equally important example of the best of contemporary scholarship on the Babylonian Talmud.
Gary G. Porton, University of Illinois, Journal for the Study of Judaism, 2018
