Not a time for celebration, but wanted to acknowledge the publication at long last of a wonderful and pathbreaking set of articles, including by Dr. Annette Yoshiko Reed, edited by James Adam Redfield and myself.

As always, Christianity merits differentiation into particular subgroups while Jews, Muslims, etc are the undifferentiated monolithic other.

Hey everyone. VT has published an advanced version of my article 'Decentering Exile.' I'm not sure when the physical version will be published, but the digital advanced one is open access and available now. I'm proud to have this one out there. doi.org/10.1163/156853…

Excited to share my first piece for the Jewish Review of Books—a review of The Oxford Annotated Mishnah, an ambitious translation that brought together dozens of scholars. I try to place the OAM in the context of Mishnah translations & to ask, what is Jewish studies? jewishreviewofbooks.com/jewish-history…

A new Jewish Review of Books is out and with it a truly excellent review (which I had the honor of editing) by Yitz Landes of the new Oxford Mishnah. Buckle up. It's a tour de force across the history of Mishnah translation from seventeenth century Amsterdam to today. jewishreviewofbooks.com/jewish-history…

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins tonight.

The liturgy is now thoroughly rabbinic, but over 100 years ago, a fragmentary Hebrew papyrus was discovered at Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, which dates to around the 4th century CE.

It contains some form of liturgy for Yom Kippur.
