"#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."

Strongly recommend these classes from the #Unyeshiva (the school from the folks behind the #JudaismUnbound podcast).
Also --- I'm trying to decide what class I'm taking! So hard to decide.
Also one of the teachers is part of the #Fediverse @lexaphus

#ChodeshTov
Very interesting article (in #hebrew) that discusses the argument between Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai regarding when #roshhashanah for the trees is.
It discusses opposing 'weltanschauung' of the two schools, and uses it to explain numerous other arguments between them in the #mishnah. #TuBeShvat -

Tu B’shevat, the #Jewish New Year for Trees, begins at sundown, Sunday, Feb 5. How is your community observing it? This is one of 4 different new years noted in the #Mishnah; the day Jewish farmers brought fruit tithes to the Temple in #Jerusalem. This day has been observed with agricultural related customs from the Mishnaic era until today, and has connections to #ecology and caring for our #environment

This is an important and thoughtful discussion. To add a layer to it - note that the early quotes of Jesus himself in the #Gospels are different than how they're understood in the rest of the #NewTestament and #ChurchFathers.
Compare these "Pharisee" teachings (mainstream Rabbinic Judaism in the #Mishnah, #Midrash, and #Talmud) with Jesus's ideas - many are the same.#Jesus may have been closer to Pharisee than to other groups of Jews at the time.

I hope people share this: Here we see Conservative, Reform and Orthodox #Jews studying #Torah and #mussar together in #Brookline, Massachusetts.
We should encourage our local Jewish community leaders to do the same - Torah, #Mishnah, Talmud, #Maimonides, Mussar, are our common inheritance. With good will any community can create opportunities for cooperation, spirituality, Talmud Torah, and communal strength.
