The Importance of Translation in the Jewish Tradition

Vashkinazi: I feel like translation risks conflating that distinction and taking something that is oral and elevating it to the status of the written. This reminds me of a phenomenon documented in the Jewish intellectual tradition, which describes God communicating with human beings through what's called a bot call. So if you kind of go back to the earliest strands of Jewish writing that use that term, boss call, even to describe different things., Vashkinazi says.
