Скачать или смотреть Traveling to Babylon—For Good

A webinar with Dr. David Kraemer, Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian and Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics, JTS

Part of our series "A Wandering People: Jewish Journeys, Real and Imagined"

The first time Jews traveled to Babylon, it was part of a great exile. But when the rabbis returned to Babylon many centuries later, joining a now “native” Jewish community there, they found themselves very much at home. Some did indeed claim Babylon as home, while others traveled back and forth between Babylon and Palestine as rabbinic messengers to ensure that the teachings of each were available to the other. Two confident centers of Jewish life developed, not unlike modern New York and Jerusalem. In this session with Dr. David Kraemer, we explore the legacy of those rabbis and how their work continues to impact Jewish life today.
