Academic Writing

My research is in the area of Jewish intellectual history and explores how medieval Jews from the community of Provence integrated new knowledge with Jewish tradition.

  • Hilkhot niddah – ketamim Today we began the focused study of ketamim, which we touched upon already in earlier sugyot. We’ll pause for chazarah and bechinah on immersion, then continue until after Pesach. ×0
  • Hilkhot niddah – tevillah We concentrated on the matter of whether there is a problem with saying a bracha while in the mikveh. ×0
  • Hilkhot niddah – chatzitzah 3-8 Chatzitzah had a LOT of parts. There are many workarounds available from major poskim, although all assume the ability to immerse in water (for instance, stitches that can’t be removed except by a doctor – but we assume they can get wet). ×0
