A webinar with Dr. Benjamin Sommer, Professor of Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages, JTS.
Part of our series "A Wandering People: Jewish Journeys, Real and Imagined"
The theme of the journey—to home, and from home—plays a prominent role in the Torah. But repeatedly, these stories force us to wonder what is home and what is exile. Dr. Benjamin Sommer reads narratives from Genesis and Exodus that present a tangled-up view of center and periphery. This persistent ambivalence about the nature of a journey carries weighty implications for biblical understandings of God as nearby but hard to grasp, and about authority and autonomy in religious Judaism.
This session was generously sponsored by Yale Asbell, JTS Trustee.
