Yedidah Koren joined the Princeton Department of Religion as Assistant Professor in the fall of 2023. She specializes in Ancient Jewish Rabbinic literature and is interested in identity, body, sexuality, scrutiny, and surveillance, as well as the crystallization of halakha (Jewish norms regarding the body). Currently, she is working on a book that explores lineage, pedigree, and marital restrictions, examining how these concepts serve as a platform for inner-Jewish separation in Rabbinic and Ancient Jewish literature. Koren has published articles discussing ancient Jewish perceptions of foreskin, the policing of lineage in rabbinic literature, and the sin of impurity associated with the status of mamzer (bastard).
