rabbinic literature

The exhibition The Golden Path: Maimonides Across Eight Centuries, on view May 9 -- December 31, 2023 at the Yeshiva University Museum (YUM) in the Center for Jewish History, tracks Maimonides and his thought through a study of materiality. It focuses on manuscripts and rare printed books, as well as visual depictions in prints and paintings, from collections around the world, exploring specific items within their varied historical, cultural, and Maimonidean contexts.

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.

The board of the Compendia Rerum Iudaicarum ad Novum Testamentum foundation is thrilled to extend its invitation to you to join the two-day symposium ‘Understanding Judaism: New Approaches to Rabbinic Literature’, featuring honored Yale Professor Christine Hayes and other notable speakers such as Professors Peter Tomson, Martin Goodman, Lutz Doering, and Annette Merz.
