A Suppressed Primordial Priestly Lineage and Its Liturgical Revival
The rabbis banished from their own literature features of the works, literary style, and ideology typical of Second Temple Jewish culture. One example is the midrashic downgrading and denouncing of certain biblical figures regarded in the Second Temple period as part of a primordial priestly dynasty, as representatives of sectarian-priestly values. These same figures, however, are unexpectedly granted legitimacy and showcased in the High Holiday …
Interpreting and Living God's Law at Qumran
The text Miqṣat Ma ̔aśe Ha-Torah , Some of the Works of the Torah (4QMMT), is one of the most interesting texts among the famous Dead Sea Scrolls discovered near the settlement of Khirbet Qumran and its vicinity in the middle of the twentieth century and by now published in full. It is a writing in the form of a letter by an unknown author to an equally unknown addressee, written in second person singular and plural. This document is the earliest…
Megillat Ta ʿ anit (The Scroll of Fasting)
Megillat Taʿanit or The Scroll of Fasting is a list of about thirty‐five dates drawn up in Aramaic and arranged in calendar order.
“Will This One Never Be Brought Down?”
R. Nachman opened [his homily, with the verse]: “therefore fear not, O Jacob my servant, says the Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel; for I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid” (Jer. 30:10). This speaks of Jacob himself, [for it is written:] “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; …
The Story of King Jannaeus ( b. Qiddušin 66a)
As is well known, no Pharisaic document has survived. What we know of this Jewish faction has been transmitted through the mediation of other, frequently hostile, factions, or later sources. The sudden discovery of a Pharisaic document hidden in a cave somewhere would certainly arouse profound interest and excitement. In what follows, I would like to propose that the story of the rupture between King Jannaeus and the Pharisees recounted in b. Qid…

Stringency in Qumran
The attribution of stringency to the Qumranites is prevalent in scholarly research. Indeed it is indisputable that the Sect generally adopts stringent positions, compared to rabbinic halakah. However, closer examination indicates that Qumranic law reflects simple, necessary inferences from Scripture itself, whereas the Tannaitic leniency represents a surprisingly revolutionary divergence from the plain meaning of Scripture. The paper surveys seve…
The Dual Strategy of Rabbinic Purity Legislation
An examination of Tannaic sources uncovers a dual strategy regarding the bounds of non-priestly purity. On the one hand, it was common during the period of the Second Temple and thereafter to exercise extreme caution in keeping impurity away even from the profane. On the other hand, however, the sages acted overtly to maintain a clear distinction between the theoretical-biblical concept of ritual impurity, which was steadily limited to the sacred…
