Rlpg/Galleys Essential Figures in the Talmud
Book SynopsisThe Talmud chronicles the early development of rabbinic Judaism through the writings and commentaries of the rabbis whose teachings form its foundation. However, this key religious text is expansive, consisting of 63 books containing extensive discussions and interpretations of the Mishnah accumulated over several centuries. Sifting through the huge number of names mentioned in the Talmud to find information about one figure can be tedious and time-consuming, and most reference guides either provide only brief, unhelpful entries on every rabbi, including minor figures, or are so extensive that they can be more intimidating than the original text. In Essential Figures in the Talmud, Dr. Ronald L. Eisenberg explains the importance of the more than 250 figures who are most vital to an understanding and appreciation of Talmudic texts. This valuable reference guide consists of short biographies illustrating the significance of these figures while explaining their points of view with numerouTrade ReviewAlthough Essential Figures in the Bible and Essential Figures in the Talmud were not published as a set, they complement one another nicely....The Talmud is the masterwork of rabbinic Judaism, comprised of the Mishnah—a written compilation of rabbinic oral commentaries and discussions on the first five books of the Hebrew Bible—and the Gemarra, a rabbinic commentary on the Mishnah. Eisenberg’s handy volume brings together information on more than 250 of the more than 2,000 rabbis and scholars mentioned in the Talmud. Entries usually include passages from the Talmud that nicely introduce the wisdom of these Jewish sages in their own words. These A-Z volumes are concise and informative and are recommended for theological and research libraries as well as academic and large public libraries with extensive Judaica collections. * Booklist *The Talmud has been compared to an ocean that is most difficult to navigate. This handy reference book provides short biographies of all the key scholars of the Talmud, including those of the Mishnah and the Gemara and of both the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmuds. As such, it is an invaluable tool for anyone who studies a “page of Gemara,” which inevitably will make mention of one or more such scholars and will necessitate a biographical reference to such luminaries as Hillel or Akiva, or the hundreds of other less known rabbinical scholars. Written in clear, easily understood language, Essential Figures in the Talmud is a book that will greatly facilitate the understanding of Judaism’s law and lore. -- Mordecai Schreiber, author of Hearing the Voice of God: In Search of ProphecyTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments Introduction List of Abbreviations List of Rabbis without Patronymics Essential Figures in the Talmud Appendix A: Chronological List of Rabbis Appendix B: Maps of Talmudic Academies Glossary Bibliography About the Author

Jason Aronson Inc. Publishers The Women of the Talmud
Book SynopsisIn this unique volume Judith Abrams, author of the highly regarded series The Talmud for Beginners, examines the episodes recorded in rabbinic literature that suggest the actions of the women of those times. By overlooking what the sages thought about women, or what they believed women ought to do in theory, and by focusing upon the situational and behavioral patterns of these women, Abrams has constructed a credible and feasible account of what women belonging to the rabbinic era were actually like and the manner in which they conducted themselves on a daily basis. Upon looking at the materials presented, the reader will find that women were every bit as varied a group then as women are today; some were pious and respectful of the sages and some disregarded them; some were poor and others rich; some longed to be married while others yearned for divorce. Perhaps the greatest surprise to the reader will be discovering the large amount of power and control women had over their own lives. Far from passive, these women were not the powerless figures the reader may have thought them to be.

Oxford University Press Inc Rabbinic Tales of Destruction
Book SynopsisIn Rabbinic Tales of Destruction, Julia Watts Belser examines early Jewish accounts of the Roman conquest of Judea. Faced with stories of sexual violence, enslavement, forced prostitution, disability, and bodily risk, Belser argues, our readings of rabbinic narrative must wrestle with the brutal body costs of Roman imperial domination. She brings disability studies, feminist theory, and new materialist ecological thought to accounts of rabbinic catastrophe, revealing how rabbinic discourses of gender, sexuality, and the body are shaped in the shadow of empire.Focusing on the Babylonian Talmud''s longest sustained account of the destruction of the Temple, Belser reveals Bavli Gittin''s distinctive sex and gender politics. While Palestinian tales frequently castigate the ''wayward woman'' for sexual transgressions that imperil the nation, Bavli Gittin''s stories do not portray women''s sexuality as a cause of catastrophe. The Bavli''s resistance to Rome makes a critical difference. While other rabbinic texts commonly inveigh against women''s beauty as the cause of sexual sin, Bavli Gittin''s tales express a strikingly egalitarian discourse that laments the vulnerability of the beautiful Jewish body before the conqueror. Bavli Gittin''s body politics, Belser maintains, align with a significant theological reorientation. While most early Jewish narratives link the destruction of the Temple to communal sin, Bavli Gittin''s account does not explain catastrophe as divine chastisement. Instead of imagining God as the architect of Jewish suffering, it evokes God''s empathy with the subjugated Jewish body. As it navigates the ruins of Jerusalem, Bavli Gittin forges a sharp critique of empire. Its critical discourse aims to pierce the power politics of Roman conquest, to protest the brutality of imperial dominance, and to make plain the scar that Roman violence leaves upon Jewish flesh.Trade ReviewOverall, this book is an important intervention in rabbinic studies. Belser brings important new insights through gender and disability studies analysis of the Bavli Gittin. * Kathryn Phillips, Religious Studies Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The Sexual Politics of Destruction: Gender, Sex, and Sin in Bavli Gittin Chapter 2: Sex in the Shadow of Rome: Sexual Violence and Theological Lament in Bavli Gittin's Disaster Tales Chapter 3: Conquered Bodies in the Roman Bedroom: The Gender Politics of Beauty in Bavli Gittin's Destruction Tales Chapter 4: Disability Studies and the Destruction of Jerusalem: Rabbi Tsadok and the Subversive Potency of Dissident Flesh Chapter 5: Materiality and Memory: Body, Blood, and Land in Rabbinic Tales of Death and Dismemberment Chapter 6: Romans Before the Rabbis' God: Rabbinic Fantasies of Recompense, Revenge and the Transformation of Flesh Chapter 7: Opulence and Oblivion: Class, Status, and Self Critique in Bavli Gittin's Tales of Feasting and Fasting Postlude: Theology in the Flames: Empathy, Cataclysm, and God's Responsivity to Suffering in Bavli Gittin

University of California Press Trans Talmud
Book SynopsisTrans Talmud places eunuchs and androgynes at the center of rabbinic literature and asks what we can learn from them about Judaism and the project of transgender history. Rather than treating these figures as anomalies to be justified or explained away, Max K. Strassfeld argues that they profoundly shaped ideas about law, as the rabbis constructed intricate taxonomies of gender across dozens of texts to understand an array of cultural tensions. Showing how rabbis employed eunuchs and androgynes to define proper forms of masculinity, Strassfeld emphasizes the unique potential of these figures to not only establish the boundary of law but exceed and transform it. Trans Talmud challenges how we understand gender in Judaism and demonstrates that acknowledging nonbinary gender prompts a reassessment of Jewish literature and law. Trade Review"In a world that seeks to erase our history and our bodies, these texts provide images of a past where we may have existed, albeit with complexities. To study Talmud is to dream our past into the future, and to engage in the act of traveling through time accompanied by our ancestors’ voices. . . .

Lexington Books Why Study Talmud in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisThe Talmud is the repository of thousands of years of Jewish wisdom. It is a conglomerate of law, legend, and philosophy, a blend of unique logic and shrewd pragmatism, of history and science, of anecdotes and humor. Unfortunately, its sometimes complex subject matter often seems irrelevant in today''s world. In this edited volume, sixteen eminent North American and Israeli scholars from several schools of Jewish thought grapple with the text and tradition of Talmud, talking personally about their own reasons for studying it. Each of these scholars and teachers believes that Talmud is indispensible to any serious study of modern Judaism and so each essay challenges the reader to engage in his or her own individual journey of discovery. The diverse feminist, rabbinic, educational, and philosophical approaches in this collection are as varied as the contributors'' experiences. Their essays are accessible, personal accounts of their individual discovery of the Talmud, reflecting the vitTrade ReviewPaul Socken has assembled a formidable group of Talmudic scholars in this important volume. The vastly different backgrounds of the contributors are moved into the foreground by the question he poses to them, asking them to account for their commitment to the Talmud. Thus he manages to produce an interesting and insightful choir of voices that are by turns deeply moving, contemplative, and humorous. The Talmud once again acquires a new face, and hence is carried forth into the twenty-first century with new excitement. -- Charlotte E. Fonrobert, Stanford UniversityRather than writing programmatic essays about why everyone should study Talmud, this group of sixteen leading Talmudists from a broad range of backgrounds has taken up the more modest goal of explaining why they personally study Talmud. Although each writer speaks individually, when taken together as a group, certain common themes emerge that can add up to something of a programmatic treatment…. The scholarly, Jewish, and general reading communities owe Socken a great debt of gratitude for collecting these essays. The authors have provided us many profound reasons to continue, or perhaps begin, experiencing the joy of studying Talmud. * Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal Of Jewish Studies *Table of ContentsChapter 1 Talmud Introduction Part 2 Part I: Women's Voices Chapter 3 Chapter 1: Why Study Talmud in the 21st Century: The View from a Large Public University; Or, Studying Talmud as a Critical Thinker Chapter 4 Chapter 2: Female Alterity and Divine Compassion: Reading the Talmud from the Perspective of Gender Chapter 5 Chapter 3: Ancient Voices Chapter 6 Chapter 4: Talmud Study as a Religious Practice Chapter 7 Chapter 5: An Opened Book: Talmud Study by Women in the 21st Century Part 8 Part II: Teaching Talmud Chapter 9 Chapter 6: The Dialectics of the Divine Commanding Voice: Values, Meaning and Culture in the Talmud Chapter 10 Chapter 7: "Why Study Talmud in the Twenty-First Century?"

Rlpg/Galleys Death of a Holy Land
Book SynopsisDeath of a Holy Land: Reflections in Contemporary Israeli Fiction, by Rose Levinson, uses the work of four contemporary Israeli authors as a lens into present-day Israel. Discussing the novels of Orly Castel-Bloom, Michal Govrin, Zeruya Shalev, and Yoram Kaniuk, the book argues for a new understanding of today's Israel. Crucial to renewed awareness is a view of the country that jettisons the notion of Israel as an exceptional, sacred state immune from 21st century discontents. Attention is focused on ways in which many of Israel's most pressing problems are linked to long-standing issues of Jewish identity. Continual reference to the novels gives weight and substance to Death of a Holy Land's underlying insistence on the need for a critical view of Israel as a country deeply ill-at-ease with itself.Trade ReviewThis book contributes to English-language discussion of Hebrew literature through its clear presentation of plot summaries and its discerning attention to thematic elements of individual novels. Far too little commentary on Israeli fiction exists in English. Levinson usefully details Kaniuk’s condemnations of militarism and Castel-Bloom’s satirical depictions of nationalism run amok. * H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online *Death of a Holy Land offers remarkably original and nothing short of a pioneering view of contemporary Israeli fiction ...this part of the book will most definitely make a significant contribution to the literature on the subject of contemporary Jewish prose. The variety of issues and originality of the approach are very refreshing with a great deal of attention to detail and arguments logical and convincing. -- Nyusya Milman-Miller, Virginia TechRose Levinson's deeply engaged study of four Israeli writers reveals how these important artists explore some of the deepest conflicts within their society: the memory of the Holocaust, the absurdity of governmental institutions, the challenge of Judaism for secular Israelis and the dilemmas of domestic life. While each of these authors deals with her or his private demons, Levinson perceptively demonstrates how the broader social context gives their work public meaning. This is a book for anyone acutely concerned about the future of the Jewish state. -- David Biale, University of California, DavisRose Levinson's Death of a Holy Land is a fine book. Through sensitive, admirably clear and well written readings of Israeli fiction, Levinson reveals a strand of deep disenchantment with the secular, leftist Zionist project on the part of four of its leading inheritors. Reveals a side of Israeli culture that is most frequently hidden from the general public outside of Israel. -- Daniel Boyarin, Univ of California at BerkeleyTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Loosening the Ties that Bind Chapter 1: In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Yoram Kaniuk The Mask of Madness (Adam Resurrected) The Triumph of Death (His Daughter) Chapter 2: Chaos and Jerusalem’s Discontents: Orly Castel-Bloom Laughter Amidst the Ruins (Dolly City) No Place to Go (Human Parts) Chapter 3: God, Text, and the Holy Land: Michal Govrin And God Destroyed Woman (The Name) God the Father, Father the God (Snapshots) Chapter 4: The Demise of the New Jew: Zeruya Shalev Love in a Time of Woe (Love Life) Things Fall Apart (Husband and Wife) Conclusion: Towards New Narratives Afterword References Index About the Author

University Press of America Chapters in the Formative History of Judaism
Book SynopsisThis collection of ten essays and five book reviews draws on three years of work, from late 2005 through mid-2008. It begins with two Halakhic essays, one on the category-formations of the Halakhah and how to account for the ones that we do not have but ought to have anticipated. The argument proceeds to another way of formulating the historical problem of the Talmud, its roots in Scripture. This is followed by an account of how the Halakhah actualizes the Torah''s narrative. Also included are four essays on Classical Judaism and two literary studies, which show both old and new engagements. Five book reviews conclude the collection, one of them a review essay, covering Edward Kaplan''s two volumes on Abraham J. Heschel.Table of ContentsChapter 1 1.

Book SynopsisThe Talmud is a confusing piece of writing. It begins no where and ends no where but it does not move in a circle. It is written in several languages and follows rules that in certain circumstances trigger the use of one language over others. Its components are diverse. To translating it requires elaborate complementary language. It cannot be translated verbatim into any language. So a translation is a commentary in the most decisive way. The Talmud, accordingly, cannot be merely read but only studied. It contains diverse programs of writing, some descriptive and some analytical. A large segment of the writing follows a clear pattern, but the document encompasses vast components of miscellaneous collections of bits and pieces, odds and ends. It is a mishmash and a mess. Yet it defines the program of study of the community of Judaism and governs the articulation of the norms and laws of Judaism, its theology and its hermeneutics, Above all else, the Talmud of Babylonia is comprised of cTable of ContentsChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 1.

Fordham University Press What Is Talmud
Book SynopsisRedefines the place of the Talmud and its study in the intellectual map of the West.Trade Review"What is Talmud? The Art of Disagreement is an innovative and provocative analysis of the intellectual art and practice of Talmud, exemplified by the fifteenth-century Castilian commentator, Izh.ak(DOT UNDER H) Canpanton. Embracing a sophisticated conceptual methodology, Dolgopolski sets talmudic rhetoric in contrast to the dominant Western philosophical concern for agreement. Influenced by Nietzsche and Heidegger, the author combines philology and anthropology in an attempt to provide an alternative to viewing the Talmud primarily as a traditional source or a historical object. This work of speculative juxtaposition promises to expand the horizon of philosophic hermeneutics and rabbinic dialectic, and to highlight the value of disagreement to human discourse more generally: not only is it important to agree to disagree, but it is precisely disagreement that facilitates a deeper sense of agreement." -- -Elliot R. Wolfson New York University "With the loss of the most seemingly inconsequential of words, the "the" before "Talmud," a world, Sergey Dolgopolski shows us, can be gained. Leaving behind what was previously understood as a circumscribed text or body of thought, we find a new and potent mode of thinking, different from logic, hermeneutics and philosophy, which has implications far beyond those of theological disputation. Drawing on the most advanced contemporary continental theory to revive the forgotten lessons of the 15^th -century Sephardic sage Canpanton, Dolgopolski provides stunningly original and profoundly unsettling insights into "the art of disagreement." -- -Martin Jay University of California, Berkeley "In both engagement and disengagement with post-Heideggerian traditions of thought, What Is Talmud redefines the place of the Talmud and its study in the intellectual map of the West." -Shofar "Explores Talmudic interpretation through a study of Rabbi Izhak Canpanton and his followers in 15th-century Spain." -The Chronicle of Higher Education "What is Talmud? is a provocative and strikingly original work that defies disciplinary boundaries. This intensive encounter staged between Talmud and post-structuralist thought not only gives us an illuminating new perspective on each of these traditions, it also provides a lucid and sophisticated reconceptualization of rhetoric that emerges out of their mutual confrontation. The relevance of post-structural thought to Talmud is clearly demonstrated here. However, what is most extraordinary to me is the powerful (and persuasive) claim that philosophy must itself seriously engage Talmud in order to move beyond the impasses of post-Heideggarian thought." -- -David Bates University of California, Berkeley "Dolgopolski's argument that Talmud offers an alternative to philosophy in its radical past-ness is brillant and ground-breaking." -- -Bruce Rosenstock University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana "Dolgopolski brilliantly maps how each subtle shift in twentieth-century philosophy has established the groundwork for presenting Talmud as a third way between philosophy and rhetoric." -- -Zvi Septimus The Journal of AJS Review

This work takes readers along with the author on a journey through one volume of the Talmud, offering reassuring guidance and making it meaningful and accessible. It also serves as an introduction to talmudic thought.Trade ReviewAll too often Talmud dissembles into a mass of details, some fascinating but many others esoteric or irrelevant. In this book, Rabbi Abrams identifies the underlying grand themes that pull it all together. She takes the novice by the hand, gently walking him/her through complex logical analyses, until the beauty of the complete structure comes into sight. By weaving lively examples of loving relationships between human beings into her explanations, Rabbi Abrams not only clarifies the nature of a Jew's relationship to God, but prods the reader into grappling with some of the larger religious issues of the day. In short, like Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, she makes the study of Talmud inviting instead of intimidating. -- Rabbi Judith Hauptman, Jewish Theological SeminaryRabbi Abrams has produced an excellent introduction to the study of the Talmud. Through explication of selected texts, she conveys to the reader the high degree of accessibility and comprehensibility of the Talmud, proving again that even the most complex matter can be grasped if properly transmitted. Bringing in her own insights, she transforms material that at first blush might seem abstruse or unrelated to human concerns into texts that speak not only to the historical reality of the Rabbis but to our contemporary selves as well. -- Blu Greenberg, author, How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household

Jason Aronson, Inc. As a Driven Leaf
Book SynopsisA spirited classic of American Jewish literature, a historical novel about ancient sage-turned-apostate Elisha ben Abuyah in the late first century C.E. At the heart of the tale are questions about faith and the loss of faith and the repression and rebellion of the Jews of Palestine. Elisha is a leading scholar in Palestine, elected to the Sanhedrin, the highest Jewish court in the land. But two tragedies awaken doubt about God in Elisha''s mind, and doubt eats away at his faith. Declared a heretic and excommunicated from the Jewish community, he journeys to Antioch in nearby Syria to begin a quest through Greek and Roman culture for some fundamental irrefutable truth. The pace of the narrative picks up as Elisha directly encounters the full force of the ancient Romans'' all-consuming culture. Ultimately, Elisha is forced by the power of Rome to choose between loyalty to his people, who are rebelling against the emperor''s domination, and loyalty to his own quest for truth.Publishers WTrade ReviewA spirited classic of American Jewish literature, a historical novel about ancient sage-turned-apostate Elisha ben Abuyah in the late first century C.E.

Lexington Books Death of a Holy Land
Book SynopsisDeath of a Holy Land: Reflections in Contemporary Israeli Fiction, by Rose Levinson, uses the work of four contemporary Israeli authors as a lens into present-day Israel. Discussing the novels of Orly Castel-Bloom, Michal Govrin, Zeruya Shalev, and Yoram Kaniuk, the book argues for a new understanding of today's Israel. Crucial to renewed awareness is a view of the country that jettisons the notion of Israel as an exceptional, sacred state immune from 21st century discontents. Attention is focused on ways in which many of Israel's most pressing problems are linked to long-standing issues of Jewish identity. Continual reference to the novels gives weight and substance to Death of a Holy Land's underlying insistence on the need for a critical view of Israel as a country deeply ill-at-ease with itself.Trade ReviewThis book contributes to English-language discussion of Hebrew literature through its clear presentation of plot summaries and its discerning attention to thematic elements of individual novels. Far too little commentary on Israeli fiction exists in English. Levinson usefully details Kaniuk’s condemnations of militarism and Castel-Bloom’s satirical depictions of nationalism run amok. * H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online *Death of a Holy Land offers remarkably original and nothing short of a pioneering view of contemporary Israeli fiction ...this part of the book will most definitely make a significant contribution to the literature on the subject of contemporary Jewish prose. The variety of issues and originality of the approach are very refreshing with a great deal of attention to detail and arguments logical and convincing. -- Nyusya Milman-Miller, Virginia TechRose Levinson's deeply engaged study of four Israeli writers reveals how these important artists explore some of the deepest conflicts within their society: the memory of the Holocaust, the absurdity of governmental institutions, the challenge of Judaism for secular Israelis and the dilemmas of domestic life. While each of these authors deals with her or his private demons, Levinson perceptively demonstrates how the broader social context gives their work public meaning. This is a book for anyone acutely concerned about the future of the Jewish state. -- David Biale, University of California, DavisRose Levinson's Death of a Holy Land is a fine book. Through sensitive, admirably clear and well written readings of Israeli fiction, Levinson reveals a strand of deep disenchantment with the secular, leftist Zionist project on the part of four of its leading inheritors. Reveals a side of Israeli culture that is most frequently hidden from the general public outside of Israel. -- Daniel Boyarin, Univ of California at BerkeleyTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Loosening the Ties that Bind Chapter 1: In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Yoram Kaniuk The Mask of Madness (Adam Resurrected) The Triumph of Death (His Daughter) Chapter 2: Chaos and Jerusalem’s Discontents: Orly Castel-Bloom Laughter Amidst the Ruins (Dolly City) No Place to Go (Human Parts) Chapter 3: God, Text, and the Holy Land: Michal Govrin And God Destroyed Woman (The Name) God the Father, Father the God (Snapshots) Chapter 4: The Demise of the New Jew: Zeruya Shalev Love in a Time of Woe (Love Life) Things Fall Apart (Husband and Wife) Conclusion: Towards New Narratives Afterword References Index About the Author

Jason Aronson Inc. Publishers Akedah: The Binding of Isaac
Book SynopsisThis is an in-depth study of a biblical story that excites curiosity while repelling readers with the thought that Abraham was ready to express his obedience to God by sacrificing his own son. The story of the Akedah, Abraham's binding and near sacrifice of his son, Isaac, is one of the most enigmatic passages of the Bible. Not only a story of Abraham's devotion to God, this biblical episode reflects the classic tension between generations. Louis A. Berman uses his training as a psychologist and his personal experience as a father to craft his intensive inquiry into the Akedah. The Akedah: The Binding of Isaac opens with a careful reading of Genesis 22, taking time to discuss crucial words and phrases. However, an understanding of Genesis 22 hinges not only on knowing the episode itself, but on knowing what surrounds it. Therefore, the reader is systematically acquainted with the biblical context of the story, and with significant biblical concepts that give the story its meaning. The binding of Isaac lends itself to countless interpretations, and chapters of The Akedah are devoted to many of them. The interpretations explored? martyrdom, atonement, the test of obedience, response to disaster, and the sanctity of human life are drawn from a broad range of sources. The multitude of interpretations of the Akedah is part of what makes the event so accessible to a diverse number of readers. This is an in-depth study of a biblical story that excites curiosity while repelling readers with the thought that Abraham was ready to express his obedience to God by sacrificing his own son. Louis A. Berman examines the place of the Akedah story in world mythology, in history, in psychology, in Christian and Islamic thought, in art and music, and in the literature of England, America, and Israel.

Academic Studies Press The Charm of Wise Hesitancy: Talmudic Stories in
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, there has been a resurgence of interest among both secular and religious Israelis in Talmudic stories. This growing fascination with Talmudic stories has been inspired by contemporary Israeli writers who have sought to make readers aware of the special qualities of these well-crafted narratives that portray universal human situations, including marriages, relationships between parents and children, power struggles between people, and the challenge of trying to live a good life. The Charm of Wise Hesitancy explores the resurgence of interest in Talmudic stories in Israel and presents some of the most popular Talmudic stories in contemporary Israeli culture, as well as creative interpretations of those stories by Israeli writers, thereby providing readers with an opportunity to consider how these stories may be relevant to their own lives.Trade Review“In his book, David Jacobson offers a wide range of Israeli contemporary commentaries to Talmudic legends. With love, knowledge, and profound commitment, Jacobson explores one of the most fascinating revolutions in Jewish culture in recent decades: the rediscovery of rabbinic literature by Israeli culture.” -- Ruhama Weiss, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Jerusalem“The Zionist revolution and mainstream Israeli culture tried to vault from the world of the Bible to a revolutionary present, leaving the rabbis and their texts behind. Yet the break was never that clean, and dogmatic secularism has come on hard times. Recent years have seen the recovery and creative reinterpretation of classic rabbinic texts by secular and religious readers, making for one of the most fascinating currents in contemporary Israeli culture. This pioneering study not only judiciously gathers and synthesizes these new voices for scholarly readers while carefully attending to the differences among them, but also places them in the context of important but insufficiently-understood currents of cultural and intellectual history. David Jacobson has, with his customary learning, discernment, and deft literary taste, done a great service to students of Israel, Talmud, literature, education, and religion.” -- Yehudah Mirsky, Brandeis UniversityTable of ContentsPreface Introduction: Recovering a Repressed Past Chapter One: The Rediscovery of Talmudic Stories Chapter Two: Authority, Autonomy, and Interpersonal Relations: The Oven of Akhnai Chapter Three: When Opposites Attract: Rabbi Yohanan and Resh Lakish Chapter Four: Women and Torah Study: Beruria Chapter Five: Eros Repressed and Restored: Rabbi Hiya Bar Ashi and Heruta Chapter Six: An Ideal Marriage: Rabbi Akiva and the Daughter of Ben Calba Savua Chapter Seven: Human Failings and National Destruction: Kamtza and Bar Kamtza

Academic Studies Press The Believer and the Modern Study of the Bible
Book SynopsisThe essays in this volume address the conundrum of how Jewish believers in the divine character of the Sinaitic revelation confront the essential questions raised by academic biblical studies. The first part is an anthology of rabbinic sources, from the medieval period to the present, treating questions that reflect a critical awareness of the Bible. The second part is a series of twenty-one essays by contemporary rabbis and scholars on how they combine their religious beliefs with their critical approach to the Bible.Trade Review“For observant Judaism to survive biblical criticism’s heavy artillery it will have to further articulate the meaning of its faith claims. This will allow it to remain faithful to its traditions while maintaining a mature dialogue with contemporary modes of thought. … The authors’ sophisticated theological discourse inspires those who care about this tension to guide that debate towards the theological arena and away from the Beit Midrash. That is the arena in which orthodox creativity is most possible. The book convincingly demonstrates that retooling our theological formulations will allow orthodoxy to see these modernizing trends as complementary, not adversarial.” —Rabbi Ysoscher Katz, Marginalia“The Believer and the Modern Study of the Bible is an important and accessible collection of articles. For the traditional Orthodox Jew, curious about the ‘modern Study of the Bible,’ this is a highly recommended first work. The book also provides fascinating insights into areas of religious culture and sociology—demonstrating the varied intellectual scaffolding being constructed to bridge two disciplines that are often at odds.” —David Tesler, AJL ReviewsTable of Contents Introduction Preface to the English Translation Acknowledgments Annotated Anthology—"Wisdom and Knowledge Will be Given to You" Yoshi Fargeon Articles General Overview A Personal Perspective on Biblical History, the Authorship of the Torah, and Belief in its Divine Origin Shawn Zelig Aster The Sages as Bible Critics Yehuda Brandes The Tanakh as History Marc Zvi Brettler Kabbalah as a Shield against the "Scourge" of Biblical Criticism: A Comparative Analysis of the Torah Commentaries of Elia Benamozegh and Mordecai Breuer Adiel Cohen Orthodoxy and the Challenge of Biblical Criticism: Some Reflections on the Importance of Asking the Right Question Tamar Ross Ask the Rabbi: "Biblical Criticism is Destroying my Religious Faith!"
