Gender and Sexuality in Ashkenaz in the Middle Ages

How was the daily life of young men and women in Ashkenaz in the Middle Ages? How did the social relations between the young people and their Christian neighbors affect their Jewish and gender identity? In what way was masculinity perceived in the eyes of the Jewish youth, and what is the difference between the rabbinical concept of masculinity and the chivalrous masculinity values of Europe? Dr. Eyal Levinson's book "Gender and Sexuality in Ashkenaz in the Middle Ages" tells the story of young men and women in Ashkenaz in the 11th-15th centuries, and provides a fascinating and intimate glimpse into Jewish youth culture and the gender interactions in which young people took part in banquets and in the dance halls, in the courtyards of the synagogues, in private houses and in the streets of the cities of Northwestern Europe.
