TANAKH SCANDALS, INTRIGUES, AND EXPLORATION, WITH RAPHAEL SHOHAT


23.12.2021

Thanks to our lecturer Raphael Shohat, we became acquainted with texts of the Tanakh and discussed the misconceptions, errors, and preconceived notions associated with this Book of books. Raphael's lecture on the Tanakh was as mysterious and enigmatic as a class on ancient scriptures can be. Raphael deeply immersed us in the texts and between the lines, introduced us to the world of conspiracy theories, the magic of numbers, signs, symbols, and other strange and funny patterns in the text. This was an interesting presentation with a lot of humor and references to pop culture. Even if you have never been interested in Torah and texts, then this lecture definitely sowed the seed of further exploration, and the understanding that the Tanakh can be fascinating, informative, and saturated with mysticism.
