  1. "#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."

  2. When my sister texts me out of the blue. Sibling rivalry always! We never change.

  3. The #PhoneCalls cited in the #Georgia #indictment are only a fraction of the examples prosecutors are using to argue that Trump’s attempts to overturn the election were #criminal. The indictment describes numerous additional #calls, #texts, #emails & #meetings among #Trump, his #CoDefendants & a group of #unindicted #CoConspirators. Other communications w/ state ofcls were outlined in the #federal indictment brought by #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith or have been documented in news reports.
