    Library Book Talk : Rabbi Allen Schwartz on Conflict & Resolution in the Early Prophets.
    (New York, NY: Yeshiva University Libraries. Yeshiva University., 2020-11-17) Schwartz, Allen; Carmy, Shalom
    On Tuesday, November 17, 2020, Rabbi Allen Schwartz, Raymond J. Greenwald Chair in Jewish Studies, will discuss his new book at 7:30PM via Zoom. In Conflict & Resolution in the Early Prophets, Rabbi Schwartz compiles, categorizes, and explains many violations of Biblical law. In each case, he explains the parameters of the law, and shows how Hazal and later commentators addressed those violations. In many cases, he presents multiple responses, side by side. Most interestingly for contemporary readers, Rabbi Schwartz reveals the interplay between traditional and modern Bible interpretation, while providing a unique window into the minds of sages of the Talmud and Middle Ages. Rabbi Shalom Carmy, Assistant Professor of Jewish Philosophy and Bible and former editor of Tradition, will discuss the book with Rabbi Schwartz.

    Library Book Talks: Shalom Holtz Book Lecture.
    (NY: Yeshiva University Libraries., 2019-12-04) Holtz, Shalom E; Holderness, J.B.; Hes, Shulamis

Prayers were formulated using courtroom or trial language, including demands for judgment, confessions, and accusations. The presence of these legal concepts reveals ancient Near Eastern thoughts about what takes place when one prays. By reading ancient prayers together with legal texts, this book shows how speakers took advantage of this opportunity to have their day in the divine court, and even sue against divine injustice"--
