Description

3rd shiur in 2nd semester of Jewish Center University series, "Ancient Jewish History: Judaism & the Origins of Christianity." We examine the evidence for a Roman ban on circumcision as the proximate cause of the Bar Kochva Revolt. We ask how this can inform a deeper understanding of the concept of mesirat nefesh in a contemporary context.
