Book Synopsis Rewriting the Talmud by : Marcus Mordecai Schwartz
Download or read book Rewriting the Talmud written by Marcus Mordecai Schwartz and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Marcus Mordecai Schwartz argues that there were two distinct periods in which traditions from Rabbinic Palestine exerted their influence upon extended passages of B. Rosh Hashanah. This doubling of influence resulted in a Babylonian-born text with two distinct Palestinian ancestries. This oddly mixed parentage was responsible for Bavli texts that both resemble synoptic passages in the Yerusalmi and differ from them in substantial ways. The main project of this book is to trace the dynamics of this doubled Palestinian influence and to account for the mark it left on passages of B. Rosh Hashanah.
Book Synopsis The Formation of the Babylonian Talmud by : David Weiss Halivni
Download or read book The Formation of the Babylonian Talmud written by David Weiss Halivni and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Weiss Halivni's The Formation of the Babylonian Talmud, originally published in Hebrew and here translated by Jeffrey L. Rubenstein, is widely regarded as the most comprehensive scholarly examination of the processes of composition and editing of the Babylonian Talmud. Halivni presents the summation of a lifetime of scholarship and the conclusions of his multivolume Talmudic commentary, Sources and Traditions (Meqorot umesorot). Arguing against the traditional view that the Talmud was composed c. 450 CE by the last of the named sages in the Talmud, the Amoraim, Halivni proposes that its formation took place over a much longer period of time, not reaching its final form until about 750 CE. The Talmud consists of many literary strata or layers, with later layers commenting upon and reinterpreting earlier layers. The later layers differ qualitatively from the earlier layers, and were composed by anonymous sages whom Halivni calls Stammaim. These sages were the true author-editors of the Talmud. They reconstructed the reasons underpinning earlier rulings, created the dialectical argumentation characteristic of the Talmud, and formulated the literary units that make up the Talmudic text. Halivni also discusses the history and development of rabbinic tradition from the Mishnah through the post-Talmudic legal codes, the types of dialectical analysis found in the different rabbinic works, and the roles of reciters, transmitters, compilers, and editors in the composition of the Talmud. This volume contains an introduction and annotations by Jeffrey L. Rubenstein.

Book Synopsis The Babylonian Talmud by : Judith Z. Abrams
Download or read book The Babylonian Talmud written by Judith Z. Abrams and published by Studies in Judaism. This book was released on 2002 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Babylonian Talmud is often cited at the foundation on which Judaism stands, Abrams, who teaches the Talmud to adults, says it remains inaccessible to most Jews because its composition does not follow the rules of Western writing. To help beginning learners, she identifies previously-formed blocks of material that could have been placed anywhere in the Bavli, and analyzes why they are placed where they are. She includes a glossary without pronunciation guides. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book Synopsis The Jewish Political Tradition by : Michael Walzer
Download or read book The Jewish Political Tradition written by Michael Walzer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book launches a landmark four-volume collaborative work exploring the political thought of the Jewish people from biblical times to the present. Each volume includes a selection of texts--from the Bible and Talmud, midrashic literature, legal responsa, treatises, and pamphlets--annotated for modern readers and accompanied by new commentaries written by eminent philosophers, lawyers, political theorists, and other scholars working in different fields of Jewish studies. These contributors join the arguments of the texts, agreeing or disagreeing, elaborating, refining, qualifying, and sometimes repudiating the political views of the original authors. The series brings the little-known and unexplored Jewish tradition of political thinking and writing into the light, showing where and how it resonates in the state of Israel, the chief diaspora settlements, and, more broadly, modern political experience. This first volume, Authority, addresses the basic question of who ought to rule the community: What claims to rule have been put forward from the time of the exodus from Egypt to the establishment of the state of Israel? How are such claims disputed and defended? What constitutes legitimate authority? The authors discuss the authority of God, then the claims of kings, priests, prophets, rabbis, lay leaders, gentile rulers (during the years of the exile), and the Israeli state. The volume concludes with several perspectives on the issue of whether a modern state can be both Jewish and democratic. Forthcoming volumes will address the themes of membership, community, and political vision. Among the contributors to this volume: Amy Gutmann Moshe Halbertal David Hartman Moshe Idel Sanford Levinson Susan Neiman Hilary Putnam Joseph Raz Michael Sandel Allan Silver Yael Tamir
Book Synopsis Canadian Readings of Jewish History by : Daniel Maoz
Download or read book Canadian Readings of Jewish History written by Daniel Maoz and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-11 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the reader through a genealogical embodied journey, explaining how our historical context, through various expressions of language, culture, knowledge, pedagogy, and power, has created and perpetuated oppression of marginalised identities throughout history. The volume is, in essence, a social justice initiative in that it shines a spotlight on elitist forms of knowledge, and their attached privileged protectors. As such, the reader will unavoidably reflect on their own pre-conceived meanings and culturally inherent notions while engaging with these pages, and in so doing open a third space where new forms of knowledge that may transcend time and space can evolve into endless possibilities. It is these possibilities of expanding the nuanced meanings of evolving knowledge, fluid lifestyles, and of a dynamic connection to humanity and God, which make this book contextually relevant in our post-modern landscape. It un-situates philosophies which have traditionally been unknowingly situated, and, in so doing, propels the reader to re-interpret discourse and recreate taken-for-granted “universal truths.”

Book Synopsis Printing the Talmud by : Marvin J. Heller
Download or read book Printing the Talmud written by Marvin J. Heller and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Printing the Talmud: Complete Editions, Tractates and Other Works, and the Associated Presses from the Mid-17th Century through the 18th Century is a profusely illustrated major work describing the complete editions of the Talmud printed from about 1650 to slightly after 1800. Apart from the intrinsic value of those editions, their publication was often contentious due to disputes, often bitter, between rival publishers, embroiling rabbis and communities throughout Europe. The cities and editions encompassed include Amsterdam, Frankfort am Main, Frankfurt on the Oder, Prague, and Sulzbach. This edition of Printing the Talmud addresses these editions as an opening to discuss the history of the subject presses, their other titles and their general context in Jewish history.
