A researcher who some of you helped last month in identifying books to read for general background information (thanks to all who responded) for a novel she is writing, has another, more specific question. The date would be c1900:
<< I need to know what kind of repercussions would occur if a young Jewish widow in the shtetl had an affair with a Russian officer. Would there be dramatic rabbinic penalties or just the censure of her neighbors, or what???? >> If you have any thoughts, please contact her directly: Beverly Magid beverlyshir...@sbcglobal.net Thank you very much.
