Living Text – Reader Reviews
Living Text is a wonderful resource for rabbis, teachers and students of Torah – chock full of insights and innovations to understand Torah and make it come alive.

Depending on where you are on the religious-secular spectrum, some things in Living Text will excite you, some will warm your heart, some will unsettle you, and some will inspire you; but all of them will open your mind and challenge you to think about the sources more deeply. Who could ask anything more of a text?

Living Text is unlike any journal I’ve ever seen but now, having read it, I wonder how anyone who cares about biblical text ever lived without it. This unique periodical makes modern midrash through classical exposition, poetry, music, drama, and personal testimony – an intoxicating blend that is simultaneously scholarly and provocative, moving and enlightlening, culturally rich and just plain fun to read.

The legacy of the Oral Torah is alive and flourishing in these pages.
The title Living Text says it all.

Living Text is more than a Journal. It is a meeting place – where we once again meet old texts, in new ways; where we meet new voices and new faces which reveal to us their meeting of texts; where we see what we didn’t see before. It is a place I look forward to returning to.
