Israel's Writing Revolution from the Torah to Today with Yael Ziegler

Join Justin Pines for a special episode of Jewish Insights, recorded live at the Yeshiva University Seforim Sale! Justin welcomes renowned Tanakh scholar Dr. Yael Ziegler for a deep dive into the "writing revolution" of the Torah. Dr. Ziegler explores how ancient texts like the Epic of Gilgamesh illuminate Tanakh's unique values, the power of writing to process national tragedy, and the foundational themes of exile and redemption in Exodus and Psalms. Discover the ongoing legacy of Jewish writing in Jewish life and the mission of the Matan Kitvuni program to bring women's Torah to print.

Dr. Yael Ziegler is an Associate Professor of Tanakh at Herzog College and the Director of the Matan Kitvuni Program. Her work includes books on Ruth and Lamentations (https://korenpub.com/collections/dr-yael-ziegler)
