When was the goy invented? Much scholarship is devoted to Jewish relations with gentiles, but the category itself - which divides reality in its entirety in a binary manner: Jews and non-Jews - was taken for granted. The speaker argues that the binary Jew/goy partition is anything but self-evident and first appears in rabbinic literature.
