The Mishnah and the New Testament are Jewish writings from the same Jewish world. Welcome to our new Mishnah Snapshots series, showing you intersections between two of Judaism's oldest documents, and using these as a way to give you startingly personal glimpses of Rabbi Jesus, and shed light on the writings of his disciples. In this first introductory lesson, we talk about what the Mishnah is, and what the Hebrew word "Mishnah" actually means.
