[dwellordream]

“The understanding of birth as a time of great danger stemmed first and foremost from reality; death during labor and birth was not uncommon. Traditionally, pain and death during childbirth were attributed to the sin of Eve. The Bible already states that the pain of childbirth is a punishment for that sin: “In pain you shall bear children” (Gen. 3:16). Later, the Mishna explains that death at childbirth is the result of laxity in performing three specific commandments—the separation of the challah, the lighting of the Sabbath candles, and the observance of menstrual purity. These were known, in short, as Mizvot HaNaH (CHallah, Niddah, and Hadlakat haNer). A connection between these two explanations was implied. 

…Although the Mishna attributes a woman’s death at childbirth to her failure to perform the three commandments that were her domain, and this understanding was accepted throughout the centuries, few medieval sources emphasize this specific cause of guilt. Rather, the consensus seems to be that at the hour of birth, all a woman’s deeds are judged and not just her performance of these three female commandments. The author of Sefer Hasidim warns people not to gossip or discuss any bad deeds the woman may have done, since any reminder of her sins might tip the scales against her. Instead, the parturient was to be prayed for. In fact, the first known mention of blessings for the sick connected to the reading of the Torah are blessings for the parturient.

These understandings again highlight the complex web of connections between religious understandings and biological and social realities. Many women died in childbirth, and, as in the case of many other deaths in the Middle Ages, the justification offered was religious. The belief that women died during childbirth because of their sins is, of course, not uniquely Jewish. It might even have been of greater importance in Christian sources. In Christianity, the origin of pain and death during childbirth was also assigned to Eve. Christians, like Jews, believed that women who gave birth without pain were not in Eve’s lot. In Christian tradition, the Virgin Mary was regularly characterized as not having suffered at birth, while in Jewish tradition, only the midwives in Egypt were ascribed this quality.

In fact, as Ulrike Rublack has recently shown, women who did not suffer during childbirth were viewed with tremendous suspicion. Pain during childbirth was the lot of women and they were expected to bear this pain with perseverance. Birth was also a symbol of the mundane world and its trials and tribulations. A central source in this connection was Midrash Yezirat haValad (The Midrash of the Creation of the Newborn), which was well known in medieval Ashkenaz. …The Midrash has two versions; one describes the fetus’s encounter with the world before leaving the womb and after being born, whereas the other explains the creation of a fetus in great detail. 

According to the Midrash, the creation of the embryo is the product of cooperation between God, man, and woman, and is assisted by an angel called Layil (Night) “When a man comes to have intercourse [leshamesh mitato] with his wife, God calls the angel responsible for pregnancy and says: “Know that tonight this man is sowing the creation of a man.” The Midrash also explains how the fetus is created: R. Eliezer says the man sows white and the woman sows red and they mix with each other and from them the fetus is created according to the will of God.... The white that the man sows, from it the bones and tendons and brain and nails are formed, as well as the white in the eyes. The red that the woman sows, from it the skin and flesh and blood are created, as well as the black in the eyes. Spirit and soul and image and wisdom . . . and courage—they are given by God. 

The Midrash describes the time spent by the fetus inside his mother’s womb and divides this period into three parts. It also explains that the sex of the baby is determined within the first forty days. These understandings are medical explanations that can be traced back to Aristotle’s medical treatises on obstetrics. For example, it was believed that the male’s soul is formed forty days after conception, and the female soul eighty days after conception. These numbers also explain the duration of ritual impurity after birth, as mentioned in the Bible: forty days for males and eighty for females.

Consequently, medieval Jewish sources instruct expectant fathers to pray for the birth of a son during the first forty days of a pregnancy. After these first forty days, they believed that the gender of the child had been determined; thus, they prohibited praying for a specific gender. Although medieval writings discuss the centrality of the father in the formation of the fetus and the development of the different parts of his body, the determination of the gender of the fetus was attributed to his or her mother. The extent of the mother’s enjoyment of the act of procreation determined the gender of the child. This belief was shared by Jews and Christians alike. 

Medieval Jewish texts provide many other details on pregnancy and birth. Although it was commonly accepted that pregnancy lasted nine months, medieval medical sources understood that the term of pregnancy was somewhere between seven and nine months. Children born after an eight-month term were doomed to death, but those born after a seven- or nine-month term were healthy children. Some halakhic discussions, as well as exegetic texts, distinguish between these two possibilities. For example, most medieval biblical commentators understood the births of the ten tribes as following short pregnancies, whereas Jacob and Esau underwent a full-term birth, as it is written, “when her time to give birth was at hand” (Gen. 25:24). 

These ideas on pregnancy had practical implications as well. For example, Hasidei Ashkenaz were very concerned about women giving birth on the Sabbath. Although helping a woman in travail was permitted and overrode the laws of the Sabbath, Hasidei Ashkenaz preferred to avoid such an instance. They determined that the duration of pregnancy as between 271 and 273 days. Consequently, they believed they could calculate the day of the baby’s birth. Thus, the readers of Sefer Hasidim were instructed to refrain from sexual intercourse on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, days that might lead to a Sabbath birth. These many references to birth and its processes in halakhic writings testify to men’s intimate knowledge of this world of women. 

Although men were excluded from the birth chamber, they were well aware of the many activities within. We may even situate the physical location of the father during birth. One commentator derives the names given to Judah’s sons from his involvement in their respective births. Judah’s first son was called Er (literally, awake); the commentator explains that Judah was awake all night and listened to his wife’s screams during labor. The second son was called Onan (lament), for Judah cried and lamented his wife’s pain during birth. His third son was called Shelah, (literally, hers), since “the sorrow was hers alone, as he was at Kziv at the time of her birth.” (Gen. 38:5) 

In the account of the birth of twins related later in that chapter, commentators remark on the birth of twins in medieval culture and the methods of examining and determining multiple births. The male authors display familiarity with the female anatomy of birth as well. For example, Rashi explains what the placenta is and says: “It is a kind of clothing that the baby lies in and is called ‘vashtidor’ in French.” It is interesting to note that, in many of these discussions, including most cases of Rashi, commentators almost always provides a parallel vernacular term when discussing issues related to childbirth. Clearly, the women who provided accounts of birth used these terms, whereas the Hebrew names were not well known.”

Out end of the month: Gabrielas

Gabrielas’ self titled tape for Kitchen Leg records features seven haunting songs by the artist, a radio snippet, a jingle from Mumbles and an unreleased track by the Berliner duo Floating Eggs. Out end of March!

https://kitchenlegrecords.tumblr.com/Gabrielas

Gabrielas, performed by a person called Martin Raack.

Does this name even exist as a living personality?

What is known so far: the name appears in other musical connections such as Bisons, Broken Jokes, Raack.nerei Falk, Rongkong Comas Crime Club, Härte Blüte and Hier Für Zeit. All these experiments together are a rough drawer-style mix of Musique Concrète, New Weird Saxony, Lo-Fi, Noise Folk, Ambient, Krautrock and Post New Wave Pop. So here it is. Gabrielas. Gabrielas does not see itself as a solo project. Gabrielas is a body made up of conversations with the artist Franziska Barcsay about feminism, friendship with Floating Eggs and people like Christine de Pizan and Sojourner Truth whom should never be forgotten. Cherish dreams. Live utopia. Dance with Gabi!

Floating Eggs is a Berlin-based band consisting of Marie Baumgarten of VORSICHT KINDER and Lars Bösch.

An oral tradition has it that the following story took place.

The North German sailor Lars and the East Saxon landlubber Martin met in a small Neukölln galley. Lars dancing, cooking and sweating. Martin dragging, hungry and thirsty. As a token of his love for his culinary arts, Lars received a tape from Martin a few days later. That was the moment that Martin found out that Lars does musical arts with Marie as Floating Eggs. Many afternoons, evenings and sandwiches both tried to describe their music with words. But then. One evening, Lars had finished work and went ashore. He and Martin were sitting in the port of Schilling.

With beer it was sealed what this tape is now.

Let’s set sail together!
