Eric Ottenheim & Martijn Stoutjesdijk (red.), Parabels. Onderricht van Jezus en de Rabbijnen, Berne Media, 2020.

De illustraties van Jedi Noordegraaf (Studio Vandaar) zijn prachtig!

Van mijn hand staan er 6 besprekingen van parabels in: “Van wolven, leeuwen en slangen,” (199-202), “Een tegenstribbelende slaaf” (met Martijn Stoutjesdijk, 205-208),  “Paard en ruiter wierp hij in zee” (211-214), “Niet van elkaar te onderscheiden” (217-220), “De roeping van Abraham” (229-232), en “De parabel van de pauw op tafel” (241-244)

Erasmus+ collaboration with the Schechter Institute effectuated

Last week the Erasmus+ collaboration between the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem and the PThU was formally inaugurated with a signing ceremomy and a festive dinner with lectures. I was asked to speak about the topic ‘Changing Identities in a Global World’.  In the course of the week I also taught the students of the Schechter: two classes in midrash, in which I compared parables from the NT with rabbinic parables, and a class on the repurposed synagogue in The Hague that is now a mosque.
