Early Christianity’s Polemical views of Jews and Judaism
Early Christians had no single, shared perception of Jews and of Judaism. For some, Jews are demonic, while for others, they provide access to heaven’s blessings. It appears difficult to account for such variation in theological terms alone. Rather, distinctive social patterns extant in Late Antique Christianity better explain either the abhorrence of, or fascination with, Jews and Judaic rites. One such social pattern characterizes emergent Roma…
Urban (re-) organization in Late Roman Palestine and the early Rabbinic guild
Over the latter half of the 2nd century and into the 3rd century, urban institutions and administration figured ever more prominently in the organization and governance of Roman Palestine. In this context, the consolidation of the earliest guild of rabbinic masters took hold, and their Mishnah and its supplement, Tosefta, were composed. When compared with correlative passages in the more utopic Mishnah, traditions in Tosefta show decidedly greate…
Ritual and Ethnic Identity
In this innovative and comprehensive collection of essays Jack Lightstone and Frederick Bird document and interpret ritual practice among contemporary Canadian Jews. They particularly focus on the character and meaning of the public performance of the Sabbath liturgy in six urban Canadian synagogues, ranging from Orthodox to Reform, and from large congregations to a small house synagogue-yeshiva (rabbinic academy). Their examination of synagogue …
Whence the Rabbis? From coherent description to fragmented reconstructions
Much of the contemporary scholarship on the origins of the earliest rabbinic movement and of its literature is hampered by a problematic circularity: conceptual and methodological constructs closely derived from what the ancient evidence itself says about the origins of Rabbinism and its documents become the basis for analyses of the very same evidence. Appropriately constructed theoretical approaches and related methodologies should provide the …
The Rhetoric of the Babylonian Talmud
Virtually from its redaction about the sixth century A.D., the Babylonian Talmud became the rabbinic document par excellence. Through its lens almost all previous canonical rabbinic tradition was refracted. Study and mastery of the Talmud marked one as a a master. This book examines the character, use and social meaning of the formalized rhetoric which pervades the Babylonian Talmud. It explores, first, how the editors of the Talmud employ a cons…

Yosé the Galilean in Mishnah-Tosefta and the History of Early Rabbinic Judaism
L'A. analyse les quarante-six traditions relatives a Yose le Galileen rapportees dans la Misna et les Tosefta. Il apparait que la tradition-Yose est peripherique, par rapport au courant central de la Misna. Dans l'etat actuel de la recherche, il est impossible d'expliquer pourquoi cette tradition laterale a ete consignee dans la Misna
