The Tosefta is a collection of rabbinic teachings that supplements the Mishnah, offering additional interpretations and discussions of Jewish law. It provides valuable insights into the development of rabbinic jurisprudence and the evolution of Jewish legal thought. The Tosefta is organized similarly to the Mishnah, reflecting the structure of the oral law. It is an important source for understanding the context and background of the Mishnah and the Talmud. Scholars use the Tosefta to reconstruct the history of rabbinic discussions and to gain a deeper understanding of the legal and theological debates of the period.
The Exodus Way E7 — In Mark 14, we’re told that Jesus and his disciples celebrated Passover and sang a hymn before going out to the garden of Gethsemane. So what hymn did they sing? Rabbinic tradition going back to the time of Jesus records that during Passover, Jewish people sang Psalm 113-118, a collection of songs known as the Passover Hallel. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore these six psalms’ references to the Exodus story and what they might have meant to Jesus on the night of the last supper.
