Hello Friends, You are always so helpful. I'm hoping someone has great resources for me! I am working for a project about Rabbi Akiva. There is plenty of information about his history. I am trying to find accurate details about daily Jewish life during Rabbi Akiva's lifetime (I believe Hadrianic era of the second century) such as clothing, housing, foods, utensil, etc. For example, I'm trying to find out what type of clothing Rabbi Akiva's wife Rachel may have worn as the daughter of a wealthy family as well as more common clothing she might have worn as the wife of a poor scholar.
Thanks in advance for any assistance! All best, Barbara B Barbara Bietz Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee Association of Jewish Libraries www.JewishBooksforKids.com
