"#RosenZvi has done a wonderful job, aided by #DanielTabak’s astute #translation, of #writing a work that, while academically rigorous, remains accessible.

While a 10-year-old can start to learn #Mishnah, there’s a complexity, sophistication, and depth of thought that is not readily apparent to a 5th-grader. The truth be told, it’s not readily apparent to a lot of people.

Rosen-Tzvi has written a masterpiece of a #book that uncovers the many layers of Mishnah and #Midrash, revealing that these are sophisticated, deep texts, carefully constructed intellectual systems.

One can’t understand #rabbinic #Judaism by reading these #texts superficially; one needs to grasp the rules, structures, and assumptions that underlie them. In How to Read the Mishnah and Midrash: An Introduction to Early Rabbinic #Literature, Rosen-Tzvi shows how to do that."
