Rav Amnon Bazak
Who really compiled and edited
the Torah? Understanding and dispelling the “documentary hypothesis”
The “documentary hypothesis” claims the five books of
Torah were put together from independent, parallel, and complete narratives and
then compiled by a series of editors.
The hypothesis came to light in the 18th and 19th century as an answer
to supposed inconsistencies in the text.
Rav Bazak, a Ram at Yeshiva Har Etzion
(Gush), is a proficient scholar in Talmud and one of the most innovative modern
Tanach scholars in Israel today.
Recognised internationally, he presents a fascinating new perspective
and context around both the popular and less well known portions of Tanach. Rav
Bazak is a guest of the RSVP group of Mizrachi (Rabbinical Scholar Visiting
Program).
