The formative period of Rabbinic Judaism took place in the first five centuries of the Common Era, under the oppression of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity. During this time, classical Rabbinic literature began to take shape in two major genres, Midrash and Talmud, and became the foundation upon which emerging Jewish law and religious belief are based. In this course, selections from Midrash and Talmud will be studied in English translation in order to train students in the midrashic methodology of Biblical interpretation, to introduce students to Talmudic logic, and to gain the skills required to analyze a Talmudic sugya (thematic passage). Division: College Division Department: Rabbinics
