Call For Papers: The Midrash Section invites paper proposals for two sessions it will sponsor at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the SBL: 1) A joint session with the Aramaic section. Possible topics for this open session include: "Exegetical questions in the Targumim," “Aramaic in the earlier Midrashim;” “Midrashim that are preserved entirely in Aramaic, e.g., the Esther Midrash in the Babylonian Talmud;” “What is the function of the Aramaic sections in later Midrash? Why not Hebrew;” “The Aramaic dialects in midrashic narratives in the Jerusalem Talmud;” “Does Aramaic in Midrash reflect a spoken language at the time when Christianity developed?” “Aramaic in Genesis Rabbah.” 2) An open session devoted to any aspect of the study of Midrash and related literature including medieval midrash and Bible commentaries.
