Professor Admiel Kosman, Professor of Talmud and Rabbinic Literature at the School of Jewish Theology, University of Potsdam, and Academic Director of Geiger College in Berlin, Germany, will demonstrate the spirit of the Talmud, at least that which is represented by the creators of the Aggadah literature. He will focus on the literary works related to the emotional and sexual relations between the wife and her husband (BT Ketubut, 62b). Literary aspects of this masterpiece have already been considered by researchers in the past, but his analysis will serve as a general background through which we will try to penetrate to the heart of the work in order to feel the unambiguous non-dualistic theological message that is conveyed to the reader.
