popa_bar_abba: In the 19th century they produced censored Bibles. Of course, the traditional approach among most Christians was not to translate the Bible into the local language, but that broke down by the 16th century.

PulsingFlower: We don’t censor Limudei kodesh since we aren’t concerned about goysha influence in a frum book (which is what we really object to, more than vulgarity or inappropriate behavior). Also, children rarely learn Niddah (though there are some “racy” portions of Talmud that do pop up in what children learn, and most rebbis find a way around them).
