Reading the Torah: Text, Intertext, Aha!

Saturday, February 25, 2017 29 Sh'vat 5777

1:15 PM - 2:15 PMSanctuary

Intertextuality—that every text reads every other text, was "discovered" in the twentieth century.  The knowledge of this phenomenon, however, was known to Jewish scholars for at least the past millennium, and is most simply observed in the relationships that may be perceived between torah and haftorah. We will read such texts on each of these three Shabbats to discover and discuss the significance of textual correspondences.  We will use some time for discussion in small groups led by Dolores DeLuise, a PhD and recently retired professor of English. She has lectured extensively, nationally and internationally, authored journal articles, textbooks, book chapters in anthologies, translations, and published a number of pieces of creative non-fiction. Dolores has been an SAJ member since 1982, has been Kallat Bereshit, and has taught frequently. Taught by SAJer Dolores DeLuise. This week, we will discuss Torah: Mishpatim / Haftarah -- Shabbat Shekalim / II Kings 12:1 - 12:17
