Episode Synopsis "Dr. David Stern: The Jewish Bible, a Material History"
What are common misnomers about Midrash? How is Midrash akin to Magic Realism? How is the digitization of the Talmud affect its study? Are Judaic studies academics superheroes? Join Dr. A. J. Berkovitz, YU alumnus and assistant professor of liturgy, worship, and ritual at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, as he sits down with Dr. David Stern, Harvard University’s Harry Starr Professor of Classical and Modern Jewish and Hebrew Literature and professor of comparative literature, to discuss these questions and how he used his training in literary theory and Greek classics to unpack and understand how Midrash functions.
