"#Ziegler’s Ruth: From Alienation to Monarchy is a 534-page book on a four-chapter #megillah. The disproportion is the point. Ziegler, a faculty member at #HerzogCollege and teacher at #MatanandMidreshetMoriah, spent more than two decades teaching #MegillatRuth in #bateimidrash before committing these #shiurim to print. What she has produced is not a work of academic #biblical criticism.

It is a work of #Torah, one that happens to deploy #literary tools in service of the sacred text’s deeper meaning. The methodology she calls “#literary-#theological,” a term she credits to #Rabbi #ShalomCarmy, fulfills something Rabbi #AharonLichtenstein called for in a 1962 lecture at #SternCollege: the application of close reading and literary analysis to #Tanach, not to evaluate the text but to hear it more clearly. “I have eschewed a pretense of academic detachment,” she writes...”

"Unfortunately, many people know the holiday of #Purim, which occurs next week, only as the “#Jewish #Halloween” – as a big dress-up (or strip-down) party celebrated with meaningless mirth and carnival-like abandon.

I beg to offer a more sober, #theological, and #kabbalistic gloss on the #holiday.
#Tanach (the Bible), #Talmud, #Halacha, and #Kabbalah elevate #wine from beverage to blessing – linking joy to holiness, song to gratitude, and harvest to hope.

Drinking wine on Purim is a method of catapulting our consciousness to a perfected world where God’s presence is dominant and evil is vanquished.

Throughout the Jewish canon, beginning with the Bible, the vital relationships between man and woman, between man and God, and between the Jewish people and their God are expressed via the metaphors of vine and wine."

Please help me descend to the depths of nerdery. At least Biblical nerdery. I'm writing a translation of the Bible and trying to crowdfund this to make it my job for the next few years to translate the Bible.

I think we can all agree that among biblical translators there are far too few furry, nonbinary, tabletop gamers and far too much bias.

This translation will be released for free under a CC-BY 4.0 license when it is finished. (It's not like Zondervan or Nelson is going to be interested in an *unbiased* translation anyway.) You can use it for sermons or bible studies without limit, fill it with notes, share it with friends, or even change the parts you don't like. It's yours, do whatever you want with it.

Hey folks, if you're looking for a random quote from the Tanach (aka the Jewish Bible), you can follow @pasukbot !

#Tanach #Bible #Judaism

Danke, @Gutemiene - stimmt halt nur so nicht. Das rabbinische #Judentum führt die Auslegung (!) des #Tanach schon seit 2 Jahrtausenden im #Talmud. Das katholische Lehramt betont Auslegung + Tradition (Konzilien, Enzykliken usw.)

Und #Luther scheiterte mit #solascriptura schon am #Sonntag vs. biblischem #Schabbat.

Bitte meine Freundlichkeit nicht mit Inkompetenz verwechseln. Danke & giten Rosch! ☺️🙏🖖

Found out while working that the Talmudology blog is run by Jeremy Brown, Dr. Erica Brown's husband! I didn't know (it's mentioned on the website, but in a really modest & understated way). Power couple!

Talmudology you can read online, and from Erica Brown I recommend her book-length treatment of Jonah, The Reluctant Prophet. (Then you can read more, but this is a good place to start.)
