In medieval Ashkenaz, the initiation of a young boy into religious schooling was marked by a series of symbolic acts, including being carried to the teacher and introduced to the alphabet through honey-laden tablets. Ivan G. Marcus examines these pedagogical rituals to reveal how medieval Jewish society constructed the identity of the child. By analyzing both textual sources and social practices, the work illuminates the intersection of education, family life, and religious tradition.
