The Shape of the Covenant

  1. 01

    Judaism isn’t a religion. It’s a people.

    Exodus 19:6 · Deuteronomy 26:5 · Ruth 1:16 · Emunot ve-De’ot, Third Treatise

    Judaism doesn’t try to make the world Jewish. It wants the world to become more itself.

    Micah 4:5 · Sanhedrin 56a · Mishneh Torah, Kings 8:11

The Names We Carry

    Abraham wasn’t a Jew. The word didn’t exist yet.

    Genesis 14:13 · Genesis 29:35 · II Kings 16:6 · Megillah 13a

How the Tradition Thinks

  1. 04

    The Torah was never just a book. Half of it was never written down.

    Exodus 20:1 · Pirkei Avot 1:1 · Gittin 60b · Mishneh Torah, Introduction

  2. 05

    You can translate the Torah. You can’t translate the Hebrew.

    Genesis 2:7 · Genesis 3:20 · Genesis 29:35 · Kiddushin 49a

  3. 06

    There was no apple. The Torah never names the fruit.

    Genesis 3:6 · Genesis 3:7 · Berakhot 40a · Bereshit Rabbah 15:7
