1. Blood, bread, and light: female converts in early Judaism

Author

Conversion -- History, Women and religion -- History, Jews -- History, Jews -- Analysis, Philosophy and religion, Women's issues/gender studies
Abstract

The conversion of Gentile women to Judaism is examined through an analysis of writings from the Second Temple Period and some rabbinic material. Evidence shows that women were attracted to Judaism in the first century CE and even after the emergence of Christianity. One of the reasons for this attraction is gender specific rituals, particularly niddah, or menstrual purity.

3. Blood, Bread, and Light: Female Converts in Early Judaism

Author

Zilm, Jennifer Laura and Zilm, Jennifer Laura

Abstract

This article looks at evidence for women’s conversion to Judaism in antiquity. Literature from the Second Temple Period suggests that Judaism was attractive to women in the 1st century CE and patristic evidence suggests that this attraction continued after the rise of Christianity. Examining this literature, as well as some rabbinic material, most notably Gerim and Ruth Rabbah, this article postulates that gender specific rituals, in particular niddah (menstrual purity) observance, may have been one of the reasons that Gentile women converted to Judaism. This suggestion stands against the notion, present in both rabbinic literature and in modern New Testament scholarship, that menstrual purity laws were a burden to Jewish women.
