Reviews
“... will focus on the menstruous women (or niddah in Hebrew) as perceived by rabbis of the Mishnah (redacted on approximately the second century CE as a meticulously presented system governing both the cultic ritual and civil law of a utopian rabbinical society which mirrors the divine will in heaven through careful execution of human actions on earth.”
