The Meanings of Death in Rabbinic Judaism

The Meanings of Death in Rabbinic Judaism

is the first study of death and the mourning practices of Judaism's founders-the Rabbis of late antiquity. David Kraemer examines the earliest canonical texts-the Mishnah, the Tosefta, the Midrashim, and the Talmud-to decipher what ancient Jewish death rituals were. Through his examination of these vital Jewish texts, he is able to discover the unexpected irrational foundations of these beliefs. He also includes a discussion of evidence from the largest Jewish burial complex in antiquity, Beth Shearim, and an interpretation of the death rituals recorded in the Babylonian Talmud.

Profiles of Eleven (Studies in Judaism)





The stirring story of the economic and cultural struggles of the eastern European immigrants to the United States in the early 1900's, as witnessed through the lives and contributions of eleven different men. Their contributions in politics, education, trade-unionism, philosophy, poetry and drama helped to shape the pattern of the Jewish community. Originally published in 1965 by Wayne State University Press, this edition contains a new introduction by Jacob Neusner.
