Abstinence and Holiness: Embracing Self-Deprivation: Reading Tractate Nazir in the Babylonian Talmud

by Joshua Fogel

The Talmud comprises a massive collection of rabbinical debates from late antiquity. This volume explicates one tractate within it, Nazir, concerned with self-imposed abstentions: no wine or product of the grapevine, no cutting of bodily hair, and no contact with a human corpse.
