Jewish Wedding Ceremonies

I. Pulner's dissertation, <<Jewish Wedding Ceremonies>> (1940), features an impressive volume of field ethnographic materials. Unfortunately, Pulner never got a chance to either defend or publish his work: he passed away in besieged Leningrad. The researcher's text is supplemented by articles on his life and his dissertation, <<I. Pulner as the Researcher>> by D. Yalen and <<Pulner's Papers in the Russian Ethnographic Museum>> by A. Ivanov, as well as musicological essay <<Music of the Ashkenazi Wedding: Terra Incognita>> contributed by E. Hazdan and the article <<Jewish Wedding Ceremonies in Podolia and Bessarabia>> by V. Dymshits, based on the insights gained during the recent expeditions.
