    [JGRChJ 8 (2011–12) 151-84] JESUS AS THE HOLY ONE OF GOD: THE HEALING OF THE ZAVAH IN MARK 5.24B-34* Horace Jeffery Hodges Ewha Womans University, Seoul, South Korea John C. Poirier Kingswell Theological Seminary, Middletown, OH, USA Mark 5.24b-34 tells the story of Jesus healing a woman suffering from a flow of blood. The story has a number of features that make it more than just another account of a healing miracle. It is foremost a story about the woman’s faith (Jesus is unwitting to the miracle until it actually occurs),1 but it also informs the reader, in a not-so-subtle way, that the healing virtue that flowed from Jesus has certain dynamic properties not unlike those characterizing the egressive properties of ritual impurity. The story, as Mark has redactionally cast it, interrupts the narrative of Jesus bringing Jairus’s daughter back to life (vv. 21-24a, 35-43).2 Two questions arise: (1) What does the miraculous healing of the woman signify? and (2) Why * We wish to thank the following (listed alphabetically) for commenting on earlier drafts of this article: Robert N.

  • Mikveh and the Sanctity of Being Created Human
    chapter 3 Mikveh and the Sanctity of Being Created Human Susan Grossman This paper was approved by the CJLS on September 13, 2006 by a vote of four- teen in favor, one opposed and four abstaining (14-1-4). Members voting in favor: Rabbis Kassel Abelson, Elliot Dorff, Aaron Mackler, Robert Harris, Robert Fine, David Wise, Daniel Nevins, Alan Lucas, Joel Roth, Myron Geller, Pamela Barmash, Gordon Tucker, Vernon Kurtz, and Susan Grossman.

The Torah is our guide for such an ambitious aspiration, sanctified by the efforts of hundreds of generations of rabbis and their communities to 1 The author wishes to express appreciation to all the following who at different stages com- mented on this work: Dr. David Kraemer, Dr. Shaye Cohen, Dr. Seth Schwartz, Dr. Tikva Frymer-Kensky, z”l, Rabbi James Michaels, Annette Muffs Botnick, Karen Barth, and the mem- bers of the CJLS Sub-Committee on Human Sexuality. I particularly want to express my appreciation to Dr. Joel Roth. Though he never published his halakhic decisions on tohorat mishpahah (“family purity”), his lectures and teaching guided countless rabbinical students and rabbinic colleagues on this subject. In personal communication with me, he confirmed that the below psak (legal decision) and reasoning offered in his name accurately reflects his teaching.

  • Safe, Sane, and Attentive: Toward a Jewish Ethic of Sex and Public Health Rebecca Jane Epstein-Levi Oberlin, OH B.A., Oberlin C
    Safe, Sane, and Attentive: Toward a Jewish Ethic of Sex and Public Health Rebecca Jane Epstein-Levi Oberlin, OH B.A., Oberlin College, 2008 M.A., University of Virginia, 2012 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religious Studies University of Virginia April 2017 2 © Rebecca Jane Epstein-Levi, 2017 Abstract Safe, Sane, and Attentive: Toward a Jewish Ethic of Sex and Public Health offers a new framework for a Jewish ethic of sex and public health that is derived from mishnaic ritual purity literature. Mishnaic texts characterize ritual impurity not as a moral stain, but as a troublesome-yet-mundane condition that is a predictable consequence of common forms of social interaction. While ritual impurity has potentially serious social and ritual consequences and its management and prevention should be taken seriously, the contraction of impurity is not an occasion for shame or disgrace, and the risk of contracting impurity does not warrant avoiding regular social interaction. The present study argues that sex is not a sui generis phenomenon; rather, it is species of social interaction, and that STIs should be understood, in turn, as predictable risks of certain forms of social interaction. This study thus argues that these parallel features of purity discourse are valuable resources, for both Jews and non-Jews, for thinking about the ethics of managing STIs, and it articulates a Jewish ethical framework that is textually grounded, socially responsible and sexually aware. It offers a religious and unapologetically normative approach to sexual ethics that is attentive to the empirical particularity of sex and sexual health as concrete phenomena and prioritizes the needs and experiences of sexual and gender minorities.

  • Jacob's Well, Bristol: Mikveh Or Bet Tohorah? by J
    From the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Jacob's Well, Bristol: Mikveh or Bet Tohorah? by J. Hillaby and R. Sermon 2004, Vol. 122, 127-152 © The Society and the Author(s) Trans. Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 122 (2004), 127–52 Jacob’s Well, Bristol: Mikveh or Bet Tohorah? By JOE HILLABY and RICHARD SERMON On 31 May 2002 the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, following reinterpretation of the site and the advice of English Heritage, declared Jacob’s Well in Bristol to be a Scheduled Ancient Monument, 28881. Only two structures can be confidently associated with the Jewish community which was resident in England for some 200 years until their general expulsion in 1290: the Jew’s House in Lincoln and the Music House, now Wensum Lodge, in Norwich.1 There are a few vestiges: the re-erected chancel arch of the Domus Conversorum, founded by Henry III in the year 1232–3 for Jewish converts, in Chancery Lane, London; remnants of the great stone house built c.1200 by Jacob of Canterbury in the High Street of Canterbury; and the Jewish ritual bath, mikveh , from Milk Street, London, awaiting re-erection at Bevis Marks synagogue.2 Moyse’s Hall in Bury St. Edmunds and the Jew’s Court and Aaron’s House in Lincoln are doubtful.3 Scheduled Monument status has formally placed Jacob’s Well amongst this tiny group of structures. More importantly, it is a medieval relic unique in this country, and possibly in Europe: a Jewish ritual bath, not a mikveh associated with the general halakic processes of purification, but one relating specifically to washing the dead, a bet tohorah .

The Biblical Law of Niddah and Its Muslim Parallels Jan A. Sigvartsen This chapter will look at the biblical law of niddah and its Muslim parallels. First, it will examine the laws of niddah in the Bible and their later developments within Judaism from the Second Temple Period until the present time. Second, it will explore the Muslim parallels, noting the similarities and differences with the Jew- ish regulations. Last, it will consider the role these laws have held in the Christian church and of whether these laws are relevant for Christians today. It should be emphasized that this chapter will not address every sect’s views or the minute details of the laws of niddah within each of these monotheistic re- ligions. It will, however, look at the broader contextual picture and discuss some pertinent details of interest.
