  Examines Jewish life in the Talmudic period through the lens of Jewish law and custom of the time. The essays present the cultural perspective of the sages and scholars who produced the stepping-stones of Jewish life and custom. By using a structural approach, Rubin is able to identify processes of long-term change in a society that remains largely traditional and stable.
