1. Nusach Ha-mikra – Accuracy of the Biblical Text

   Part 2 - The Text of the Tanakh during the Period of Chazal

   Rabbi Amnon Bazak

   From various sources it can be concluded that during the time of Chazal the version of the Tanakh was for the most part fixed and uniform, but in some instances there arose questions of textual variants, and where such details as plene (Maleh) or defective (Hasser) spelling were concerned there was a lack of clarity, which became more pronounced during the period of the Amoraim.

2. A Celebration of Possibilities: Between Tradition and Innovation in Parshanut HaMikra

   Rabbi Dr. Moshe Sokolow

   תאריך פרסום: תשפ”ה | | 59 דקות

   The lecture discusses the understanding of the Oral Torah, examining the tension between tradition and innovation, and between authority and autonomy. It presents how the Torah, despite being divine, contains broad principles that allow for expansion and interpretation according to changing circumstances. The historical overview includes examples from Rashi's commentary, the disputes of Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel, and the opinions of later sages, and emphasizes how dialogue and discussion are at the heart of the Jewish approach to learning, which accepts the multiplicity of possibilities in Torah interpretation.
