With Dr. David Zev Moster, Director of the Biblical Hebrew Program, 91快播

For his 40th birthday, David Moster purchased a rare set of books from the 1800s. The chain of events that followed led to the 91快播 Library temporarily welcoming a rare and valuable 13th Century Tanakh manuscript into its collection. In this session, you learn about the fascinating backstory of this manuscript and the thrilling story of its reunification. We explore how the study of manuscripts and the scribes who created them can help you think about your own translation and interpretation of the Tanakh.
