Description

First Came Marriage: The Rabbinic Appropriation of Early Jewish Wedding Ritual offers a deep examination of how marriage practices evolved in early Jewish history. By combining ritual and historical perspectives, this book provides a comprehensive look at the customs that shaped Jewish life. While single perspectives often provide only a partial view, this work integrates both approaches to reveal how early rabbis and their successors interacted with existing traditions. This study investigates the specific process by which early Jews married. It explores the various methods used to minimize, elaborate, or codify these practices over time. Readers will gain insight into the practices that were either rejected or highlighted during the rabbinic period. As part of the Judaism in Context series, this volume is a valuable resource for those studying the development of Jewish social and religious customs through a historical lens.
