Cursing the Christians?: A History of the Birkat HaMinim
Langer, Ruth (Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and Associate Director, Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, Associate Professor of Jewish Studies and Associate Director, Center for Christian-Jewish Learning, Boston College, Boston, MA, USA)
Ruth Langer offers an in-depth study of the birkat haminim, a Jewish prayer for the removal of those categories of human being who prevent the messianic redemption and the society envisioned for it. In its earliest form, the prayer cursed Christians, apostates to Christianity, sectarians, and enemies of Israel.
