In The Jewish Body, Jutte has written an encyclopedic survey of the Jewish body as it has existed and as it has been imagined from biblical times to the present, covering everything from traditional body stereotypes-such as the so-called Jewish nose-to matters of gender, sickness, and health to the end of physicality and death.

This path--breaking book examines our attitudes to the senses from antiquity through to the present day.
