The Mishnah is the foundational document of rabbinic Judaism—all
of rabbinic law, from ancient to modern times, is based on the
Talmud, and the Talmud, in turn, is based on the Mishnah. But the
Mishnah is also an elusive document; its sources and setting are
obscure, as are its genre and purpose. In January 2021 the Harvard
Center for Jewish Studies and the Julis-Rabinowitz Program on
Jewish and Israeli Law of the Harvard Law School co-sponsored a
conference devoted to the simple yet complicated question: “What
is the Mishnah?” Leading scholars from the United States, Europe,
and Israel assessed the state of the art in Mishnah studies; and
the papers delivered at that conference form the basis of this
collection. Learned yet accessible, What Is the Mishnah? gives
readers a clear sense of current and future direction of Mishnah
studies.
