The Origins of Judaism: An Archaeological-Historical Reappraisal (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)
Yonatan Adler, Ph.D (Academia):
https://ariel.academia.edu/YonatanAdler
Prof. Yonatan Adler is an Associate Professor in Archaeology at Ariel University in Israel, where he also heads the Institute of Archaeology. In 2019โ2020, he held the appointment of Horace W. Goldsmith Visiting Associate Professor in Judaic Studies at Yale University.
Adler specializes in the origins of Judaism as a system of ritual practices, and in the evolution these practices over the long-term. His research in recent years has focused on ritual purity observance evidenced in the archaeological remains of chalk vessels and immersion pools. He has also researched and published extensively on ancient tefillin (phylacteries) from Qumran and elsewhere in the Judean Desert.
He has directed excavations at several sites throughout Israel, most recently at โEinot Amitai and at Reina, two sites in Galilee where Roman-era chalk vessel workshops have been unearthed.
Adler was appointed in 2018 by the Minister of Culture to serve as a member of the Israeli Council for Archaeology.
Adler's book, entitled: ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ: ๐๐ง ๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ-๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฅ, published with Yale University Press in November, 2022.
Throughout much of history, the Jewish way of life has been characterized by strict adherence to the practices and prohibitions legislated by the Torah: dietary laws, ritual purity, circumcision, Sabbath regulations, holidays, and more. But precisely when did this unique way of life first emerge, and why specifically at that time?
In this revolutionary new study, Yonatan Adler methodically engages ancient texts and archaeological discoveries to reveal the earliest evidence of Torah observance among ordinary Judeans. He examines the species of animal bones in ancient rubbish heaps, the prevalence of purification pools and chalk vessels in Judean settlements, the dating of figural representations in decorative and functional arts, evidence of such practices as tefillin and mezuzot, and much more to reconstruct when ancient Judean society first adopted the Torah as authoritative law.
Focusing on the lived experience of the earliest Torah observers, this investigative study transforms much of what we thought we knew about the genesis and early development of Judaism.
