During the month of July, several European and North American scholars, each of whom is committed to producing a commentary on one tractate of the Babylonian Talmud, were in residence as summer fellows at the Katz Center of the University of Pennsylvania. Together they discussed the challenges and contributions of feminist readings of the Talmud to the field of talmudic literature. The volumes produced will be part of the Feminist Commentary to the Babylonian Talmud series published by Mohr Siebeck.
