“…39 Also see Brandes (2007) for another contemporary expression of this view. However, Kress and Lehman (2003) focus on the dialogical and argumentative nature of the text of the Babylonian Talmud as a pedagogical resource more broadly; they do not appear to limit themselves to the jurisprudential orientation.…”

This article explores a set of practices in the teaching of Talmud called "the pedagogy of slowing down." Through the author's analysis of her own teaching in an intensive Talmud class, "the pedagogy of slowing down" emerges as a pedagogical and cultural model in which the students learn to read more closely and to investigate the multiplicity of meanings inherent in the Talmudic text, thus bridging the gap between an ancient text and its contemporary students. This article describes the specific techniques in the pedagogy of slowing down, and the ways in which this teaching practice contributes both to students' becoming more attentive readers and to the ongoing development of their religious voices. 4 Rabbinic marriage has two main components-betrothal ('erusin or kiddushin) and marriage (nissu'in or huppah). Mishnah Kiddushin 1:1 legislates that betrothal can be effected by the man through three means: money, document, or sexual intercourse. Once betrothal has taken place, the woman is forbidden to have sexual relations with all men, including her husband. Should the couple dissolve their relationship at this point, the woman needs a bill of divorce (get). The marriage portion of the ceremony permits the couple, inter alia, to have sexual intercourse.

IntroductionThis article describes a set of practices in Talmud teaching that I call "the pedagogy of slowing down." 1 The name and the articulation of these practices emerged through reflecting on my own teaching in an intensive Talmud class at the Northwoods Kollel of Camp Ramah in Wisconsin. 2 I analyzed my teaching because I wanted to better comprehend my classroom practices -what I do when teaching Talmud and why. In addition to describing the techniques of slowing down, the article presents some potential effects of this pedagogy. This article thus introduces another example of a mode of Talmud pedagogy and so belongs to the growing literature on this topic (Friedman,
