Abstract

Studies of textual traditions about menstruation in Judaism are seldom without an agenda. Perhaps they cannot be. The polemical history of the literature is simply too entrenched by now. This is also the case with Evyatar Marienberg's series of studies, recently published in France, about the place of menstruation in Jewish culture.
