dbo:abstract
  • Rabbi Zeira's stringency (Imperial Aramaic: חומרא דרבי זירא) or the stringency of the daughters of Israel (Hebrew: חומרת בנות ישראל) relates to the law of niddah (a woman during menstruation) and refers to the stringency expounded in the Talmud where all menstruant women, at the conclusion of their menstrual flow, were to count seven days of cleanness, just as women would do who suffered an "irregular flow" (Hebrew: זיבה) = "zivah" as defined in Jewish law. The stringency was enacted due to the confusion of Jewish women on how to view their menstrual flow, whether it was deemed a regular menstrual flow, or one which came as an irregular flow (see infra), known in rabbinic terminology as the zavah ketanah ("minor zavah"), and the zavah gedolah (major "zavah"). By declaring that all women had the status of zavah gedolah, this required them to count seven days of cleanness before immersing. (en)
