As a listener of Adventures in Jewish Studies, we hope you'll also listen to the new AJS podcast, Critical Sources.

Critical Sources features Jewish studies scholars discussing a source that matters to them, offering a window into how scholars seek evidence, ask questions, and interpret the past and present.

Host Avinoam Patt asks five different scholars to discuss a source—a poem, a speech, an object—that's been on their mind since the October 7 massacre in southern Israel and in the months of war following it. How did they think about it before October 7, and what has it meant to them since?
