This one-day colloquium will reflect on the place and use of the Mishnah in the study of early Judaism, Rabbinic Judaism, and Christianity. Centered in the conversation is the publication of the new Oxford Annotated (2022), edited by Shaye J.D. Cohen and Hayim Lapin.

The event is comprised of two panels, each of which will begin with two or three, 10-15 minute presentations and follow with an open conversation among all participants. The first session (9-11am EST) will discuss the problems of translating the Mishnah in light of the experience of the new edition. The second session (11:30am-1:30pm EST) will instead address the very thorny issue of using the Mishnah for the study of Second Temple Judaism.
