In this episode of Hebrew Voices #160, Does God Have a Body?, Nehemia talks to Dr. Gabriel Wasserman about a medieval Karaite epistle. Their discussion explores Jewish moneylending, Sabbath observance, and a rabbinical Midrash about the size of God’s body parts.
I look forward to reading your comments!
