Communication and the Cultural Origins of the Ashkenazic (Franco-German) Community of the Middle Ages
Event Host: Melton Center for Jewish Studies
The Ohio State University presents Communication and the Cultural Origins of the Ashkenazic (Franco-German) Community of the Middle Ages.Dr.Haym Soloveitchik will speak on the scholarship of early medieval communication of the last two decades, and how it undermines a major assumption of cultural origins of the Ashkenazic community. The standard theory is that the underlying religious culture of Early Ashkenaz was Palestinian, and that only later does the Babylonian Talmud achieve dominance in the religious life of Ashkenaz with which we commonly associate it. He will discuss his own doubts about this scholarly truism, based on methodological and empirical grounds.
