It's pub day for Simcha Gross 's much anticipated book. Having read it carefully, I can that it is one of the most exciting books published in Rabbinics in decades, and in a field (Babylonian Jewish history) that was considered DNR. Highly recommend! cambridge.org/core/books/bab…

My book is officially published!! With deep gratitude to those near and far.

Today, we have a Publication Preview from Jae Han, on his book _Prophets and Prophecy in the Late Antique Near East._ buff.ly/3JfaVBS

Officially out in one week, but apparently copies are already being shipped!

Awkward act of self- promotion- I am very happy that this is out in the world, after an extremely protracted genesis.

About time that the Testament/Assumption of Moses made it to the little screen.

On Sunday I visited Emily Hammer’s excellent exhibit on U-2 photographs and historic landscapes at the Penn Museum. See it before it comes down!

The new issue of the Journal of Eastern Christian Studies has just been published! Studies on the reception of Aristotle in medieval Syriac theology, relations between the Roman Catholic and Russian Orthodox Churches, and recent Ukrainian Orthodox history: tinyurl.com/2nzkyf9m

In honor of Nowruz, rabbinic literature offers a number of lists of non-Jewish festivals, including Iranian festivals.

Because later scribes & reciters did not know Persian, the names have grown garbled in the manuscript tradition.

But they can be reconstructed.
