10 Great Texts - Session 1 The Study of Talmudic Stories,
Ta'anit 23A Honi ha-Me'aggel
with Rabbi Norman Cohen, Ph.D. (Midrash)
The story of Honi ha-Me-aggel is one of the best known Talmudic miracle tales. Norman Cohen challenges us to look beyond the simplest reading to uncover meanings and lessons built into the language and structure of this piece. His reading of the text reveals not only many nuances hidden in this story but also teaches us much about midrash and the aggadic process.
