2 B / B: Sexuality and Marriage in Jewish Tradition and History ( Jewish Women, Men and Children ) Dr. Evyatar Marienberg (evyatar.marienberg@mcgill.ca) McGill University, Winter 2002 Monday 16:00-18:00 / Wednesday 16:00-17:00 Arts-W120 The class will deal with various topics related to sexuality and marriage in Jewish tradition and history. Our main focus will be to explore past and present communities that hold the Halakhah, the Jewish Law, to be a significant factor in shaping daily life. Among the subjects to be discussed: sex outside of marriage, wedding ceremonies and customs, regulations of marital sex, menstruation and ritual bath, divorce, masturbation, homosexuality, rape, and prostitution. Class will include guest lecturers and probably some videos. No knowledge of Hebrew necessary. * Picture on cover page: Detail from Hamburg Miscellany, Germany, c. 1427, shows a Jewess immersing herself in a mikveh before going to her husband.
