Living Text is unlike any journal
I've ever seen but now, having read it, I wonder how anyone
who cares about biblical text ever lived without it. This
unique periodical makes modern midrash through classical
exposition, poetry, music, drama, and personal testimony -
an intoxicating blend that is simultaneously scholarly and
provocative, moving and enlightlening, culturally rich and
just plain fun to read.

in America
Living Text is a wonderful resource
for rabbis, teachers and students of Torah - chock full of
insights and innovations to understand Torah and make it
come alive.
Norman J. Cohen
Provost, HUC-JIR
The legacy of the Oral Torah is alive and
florishing in these pages.
The title Living Text says it all.

of the Rabbis
Living Text and the creation of modern midrash which
it nurtures, perhaps more than any other discipline, will
ensure the renewal of the Jewish people.

Living Text is more than a
Journal.
It is a meeting place - where we once again meet old texts,
in new ways; where we meet new voices and new faces which
reveal to us their meeting of texts; where we see what we
didn't see before. It is a place I look forward to returning
to.
Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin
Editor, Sh'ma: A Journal of Jewish
Responsibility
Depending on where you are on the
religious-secular spectrum, some things in Living
Text will excite you, some will warm your heart, some
will unsettle you, and some will inspire you; but all of
them will open your mind and challenge you to think about
the sources more deeply. Who could ask anything more of a
text?
