Dear Friends & Colleagues, On behalf of Academic Studies Press, it is my pleasure to announce the publication of *Learning to Read Talmud: What it Looks Like and How it Happens <http://www.academicstudiespress.com/browse-catalog/learning-to-read-talmud>* edited by Jane L. Kanarek and Marjorie Lehman.
October 2016 | 9781618115133 | 300 pp.; 8 illus. | $79.00 USD | Hardcover *Summary:* Learning to Read Talmud is the first book-length study of how teachers teach and how students learn to read Talmud. Through a series of studies conducted by scholars of Talmud in classrooms that range from seminaries to secular universities and with students from novice to advanced, this book elucidates a broad range of ideas about what it means to learn to read Talmud and tools for how to achieve that goal. Bridging the study of Talmud and the study of pedagogy, this book is an essential resource for scholars, curriculum writers, and classroom teachers of Talmud. *Jane L. Kanarek* is Associate Professor of Rabbinics at Hebrew College. She is the author of Biblical Narrative and the Formation of Rabbinic Law. She received rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary and a PhD from the University of Chicago. *Marjorie Lehman* (BA, Wellesley College; PhD, Columbia University) is Associate Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics at the Jewish Theological Seminary. She is the author of The En Yaaqov: Jacob ibn Habib’s Search for Faith in the Talmudic Corpus (Wayne State University Press), a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award–Nahum M. Sarna Memorial Award in the category of Scholarship. Lehman is working on a feminist commentary to tractate Yoma (Mohr Siebeck) and a book, “Foolish Priests, Revisionist Rabbis: The Transformation of Yom Kippur in Tractate Yoma.” Along with Jane L. Kanarek and Simon J. Bronner, she is editing the fifth volume of a series focused on Jewish Cultural Studies, Motherhood in the Jewish Cultural Imagination, that will be published by the Littman Library of Jewish Civilization. She has published articles in Jewish Quarterly Review, Jewish Studies Quarterly, Journal of Jewish Education, Nashim, and Teaching Theology and Religion.
