Description: Massekhet Mo'ed Qatan, Hardcover by Labovitz, Gail, ISBN 3161582829, ISBN-13 9783161582820, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Tractate Moed Qatan, in addition to discussing the mid-festivals of Passover and Sukkot, is the primary source on rabbinic mourning laws and rituals. In her commentary Gail Labovitz thus considers such questions as: when considering whether particular forms of labour should or should not take place during the mid-festival or when one is in mourning, which genders labour is considered significant, which is overlooked or taken for granted? How are practices that are meant to engender certain emotional states - joy in the festival, grief over a death - impacted by gender? How does gender guide who is mourned, and in what ways? She also explores womens unusually conspicuous and public role in funerals and mourning procedures as lamenters. Although Moed Qatan is a short tractate, women, female characters both biblical and rabbinic, and issues of gender feature prominently throughout.
