Hi everyone- Thank you all for wonderful discussions and opportunities for real intellectual growth. In reference to the recent Lactnet posting about widely spaced breasts being a reason for divorce I asked my Talmud teacher (chairman of the Dept of Talmud at Jewish Theological Seminary, NY). He gave me the following information. It is in the Babylonian Talmud - Ketubot 75A. There is not an extensive discussion about why - It only states that if the breasts are separated by more than a handspan it is considered a "moom" or defect and is grounds for divorce. My teacher thought it was a matter of beauty but I told him about the insufficient glandular tissue problem. He said that he will look further in the Palestinian Talmud, and a few other places for more discussion. Sarah Friend Barnett, LLLL, IBCLC Bronx (New York City), New York [log in to unmask]
