Horeb: Studies in Rabbinic Culture invites you into the evolving study of rabbinic culture across antiquity and the modern period. It asks how rabbinic texts, practices, and communities take shape, how they change across time and place, and how they continue to shape Jewish thought today. You encounter cutting-edge research in midrash, Talmud, liturgy, legal development, material culture, alongside critical book reviews. The inaugural volume brings together leading scholars from major research universities and institutes worldwide, opening new conversations between textual and historical approaches. If you want to see where rabbinic studies is going next, this is where you begin.
