New Works Wednesdays with Daniel Tsadik

In our extended New Works Wednesdays series, Daniel Tsadik discusses his new book,
“The Jews of Iran and Rabbinic Literature: New Perspectives.”

Dr. Tsadik’s book addresses the question of Iranian Jewry’s familiarity with rabbinic literature from the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Many of the book’s theses challenge and revise prevailing views that see this Jewry as largely isolated from world Jewry and its rabbinic legacy.
