Abstract:
Though most scholars believe that the Yachad did not admit women as members, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain many halakhic details concerning women, marriage, and family life. In this lecture I will survey and analyze the relevant passages from the Scrolls in order to portray marriage and marital life within the Scrolls community. Subjects to be dealt with include matchmaking, the wedding ceremony, sex, and divorce.
