November 13 lecture, "The Hero's Name as a Literary Device in the Talmudic Story in Gender Context: Mar Ukva and his Wife (BT Ketubot 67b)," with Professor Admiel Kosman, University of Potsdam, Germany.  

The Talmudic story at the center of this presentation is about Mar Ukva, leader of the Jewish exile in Babylon, in the fourth century CE, and his wife (who appears nameless in the story). Kosman explores the theological questions that the story poses and analyzes the point of view of the Talmudic narrator on the relationship between the masculine and the feminine.
