M1.03 - Rm 2

The Mishnah is the oldest rabbinic law code. Although it is primarily concerned with practice, every now and then it slips into a different mode: Myth. It tells stories with a view to teaching the reader something about our place in the world or how one should live. In this session, we will explore some striking examples of mythic teachings in the Mishnah, and attempt to unravel some of their implications.
