“Do Not Grieve Excessively”: Rabbis Mourning Children Between Law And Narrative In Rabbinic Laws Of Mourning And Soloveitchik’S Halakhic Man, Shira Billet
Journal of Textual Reasoning
In “‘Do not grieve excessively’: Rabbis Mourning Children Between Law and Narrative in Rabbinic Laws of Mourning and Soloveitchik’s Halakhic Man,” Shira Billet highlights a rabbinic literary trope of rabbis who focus on performing commandments and teaching Torah upon losing a child and analyzes it in relation to a modern example of this trope found in Joseph Soloveitchik’s Halakhic Man. Although such stories of diminished mourning for children have been understood negatively by modern readers as touchstones of a general Jewish ethos that prioritizes the observance of commandments over the love of children, this article offers a framework …
“If You Seek It Like Silver”: Illness And Poverty As Metaphors For Obligation In Israel Salanter, Sarah Zager
“If You Seek It Like Silver”: Illness And Poverty As Metaphors For Obligation In Israel Salanter, Sarah Zager
Journal of Textual Reasoning
This article analyzes the role of experiences of illness and poverty in the work of Israel Salanter (1810-1883). It argues that Salanter uses these two experiences, and the emotional responses that they engender, as paradigms for understanding the experience of being obligated to study, and then, change, one’s character. The article shows that obligation played a central role in Salanter’s thought, but that his account of obligation is articulated not against a newly-available form of modern autonomy, but instead, against forms of constraint created by poverty and illness.
“Heaviness Of The Head” And The Unbearable Lightness Of Rejoicing, Erez Degolan
“Heaviness Of The Head” And The Unbearable Lightness Of Rejoicing, Erez Degolan
Journal of Textual Reasoning
This essay draws on affect theory to read a pair of rabbinic terms: koved rosh, literally “heaviness of the head,” and its antonym, qalut rosh, or “lightness of the head.” The affective dimensions of these terms have often been overlooked. This essay argues, however, that they denote, for the rabbis, bodily experiences that epitomize contrasting emotional states, namely, mourning (koved rosh) and rejoicing (qalut rosh). The essay concludes with potential implications of the new understanding of the terms for the study of rabbinic prayer.

Shame, Blindness, And The Face Of The Other: Emotions In And Out Of Rabbinic Legal Texts, Sarah Wolf
Shame, Blindness, And The Face Of The Other: Emotions In And Out Of Rabbinic Legal Texts, Sarah Wolf
Journal of Textual Reasoning
This article sheds light on the social nature of shame in rabbinic law in its analysis of the Babylonian Talmud’s discussions of legally actionable shame (boshet) and the emphasis therein on visual experience in defining both shame and legal obligation. The article highlights a connection within rabbinic thought between sightedness and what it means to be fully aware of and responsible for others. By exploring these interactions between sight, obligation, and emotion, this article reveals that the rabbinic understanding of vision is at the core of their conception of both the affective and legal dimensions of shame.
