PSCO Presentation: 7 December, 2017

“Nurses, Midwives, Healers, and Talmudic Encyclopedism”

Lennart Lehmhaus (Freie Universität Berlin; Katz Center)

Session

Lennart Lehmhaus, Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Freie Universität Berlin, examines the transfer of knowledge in Jewish antiquity—as well as the trajectories of that knowledge into current Jewish and Israeli culture. He is currently a Fellow at the Katz Center of Advanced Judaic Studies, exploring rabbinic approaches to medicine and science. His talk examines Talmudic healthcare as an arena of cultural competition and transfer between Jews and non-Jews.
