The Order of Moed in the Mishnah and Babylonian Talmud outlines the way Jews celebrate their festivals. It is well known among feminists that Jewish life is not the same for men and women. The purpose of this feminist commentary on Seder Moed is to outline gender differences as they are reflected in the mishnaic and talmudic texts. In this introductory volume women’s participation in Jewish festivals is handled on a general and theoretic level. Various world-renown scholars discuss the role of women in the tractates of Seder Moed.With contributions by:Elizabeth S. Alexander, Cynthia M. Baker, Judith R. Baskin, Shaye J. D.
