Turn it and Turn it

Drisha has often run classes organized around a shared theme or topic. Each season of Turn It & Turn It comprises all the lectures on a given theme, bringing you multiple complementary takes on an issue. This podcast spans two decades, putting some of our earliest audio recordings shoulder to shoulder with more recent and contemporary lectures - all exemplifying the principle that Torah demands persistent, multi-angled study. Turn it and turn it: there’s a lot to discuss!

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.
