Working Knowledge: Labor in Jewish Thought (3/4) with Dr. David Zvi Kalman

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Labour & Rest"
Most of life is work of one kind or another, and even our rest is often defined by the work that we’ve left behind. The first half of this series will explore how changing notions of labor have influenced core pieces of the Jewish tradition, including the meaning of Shabbat and what it means to study Torah. The second half of this course will move from Jewish tradition out into the modern economy and consider how Jewish ideas can inform how we think about work and treat workers in the 21st century.

Invention of the Seven-Day Week (5/5) with Dr. Evan Zuckerman Sivan

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Labour & Rest"
This course covers two main themes based on a forthcoming book by Ezra Zuckerman Sivan: 1) the Torah as heralding the invention of the seven-day week, and secondarily 2) the social scientific question of how and why the seven-day week was invented. Each lecture is focused on a specific puzzle that gains its significance once we shake off our erroneous intuition that the seven-day week is built into the natural world. The key sources used in each session will be biblical, augmented by insights from rabbinic texts.
