I share Ilana Kurshan's teaching on rabbinic midrash seeing Moses as a mother in transition, as they question whether, at the promised land border, God's refusing his entry is frustrating his desire to mother the people more, or frustrating his desire to claim "his turn" to actually have a life now that the children are leaving the nest.  I include my own glosses, but make no mistake that this is Ilana Kurshan's teaching.

Ilana Kurshan - Daf Yomi - A Page of Talmud A Day

In this episode of Yeshiva University's Scroll Up, GPATS graduate Zissy Turner interviews Ilana Kurshan about her new book, If All the Seas Were Ink.

Ilana Kurshan - If All the Seas Were Ink

This week’s podcast features Ilana Kurshan’s memoir If All the Seas Were Ink. Originally written in English, the text translates the study of the Daf Yomi, or “Daily Page,” of the Talmud, into a life story. The Talmud is the main book of rabbinic teachings spanning about 600 years. It is the basis for all codes of Jewish law. The memoir begins in the wake of a painful divorce, when Ilana decides to begin this 7 ½ year long study, one page at a time. More info on Bar Ilan's Writing Conference. Text: Ilana Kurshan, If All The Seas Were Ink. A memoir. St. Martin’s Press, 2017.
