KMS has such about one idea he or she was wondering about during the a special approach to learning—an openness, a connectedness study session. This is always a highlight! and the belief that learning should be accessible to all at many Some of the thought-provoking topics we’ve covered: “What different levels, and that all questions are both powerful and are the top ten mitzvot in your opinion?” “Different points welcome. How to package these things in a family-centered of view regarding the same situation: the Yosef story” and program? “the Mishkan: what does it mean to make a sacred space?” We decided to create Parent-Child Learning to run at KMS Alternatively, participants are welcome to bring their own on motza’ei Shabbat when Shabbat ends early during the win- materials to learn.

    ISSN 2577–4921 Zeramim: An Online Journal of Applied Jewish Thought Vol. IV: Issue 1–2 | Fall–Winter 2019–2020/ 5779–5780 Zeramim: An Online Journal of Applied Jewish Thought Vol. IV: Issue 1–2 Fall–Winter 2019–2020 / 5779–5780 1 A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS Dear readers, We (the editors) like to read essays that raise interesting questions, and present for your consideration three such articles. Shai Cherry starts with a question raised by Abraham Joshua Heschel: how are we to understand the various Midrashic teachings that our prayers somehow strengthen or empower God? Analyzing a wide variety of texts, Shai Cherry suggests, in “The Camouflaged Ta’am (‘Motive’): Redemptive Implications of Rabbinic Theurgy,” that there is a critical messianic undercurrent to these teachings—and identifying that theme can perhaps help us to better contextualize their message. Another question: is there a common element in how we understand our own personal travails, and how we understand the travails of the People Israel generally? We often think of the Book of Job as addressed to the challenges we face as individuals. Nathan Moretto and Richard Claman, in “Reading Job (Iyyov) as a Stand-In for the People of Israel,” review, however, the curious history of how the Book of Job has been understood, by Martin Buber and others, as having a collective dimension. Lastly, the final of the Ten Commandments raises the curiosity of law that appears to try to regulate our inner thought-processes. Zachary James Silver, in “Mind Control? A Halachic and Meta- Halachic Investigation of Forbidden Thoughts” reviews how traditional commentators have struggled with this concept, and some approaches towards an answer.

Endings in Short Biblical Narratives Abstract Abstract ENDINGS IN SHORT BIBLICAL NARRATIVES Susan Zeelander Professor Jeffrey H. Tigay There has been much study of the narrative aspects of the Bible in recent years, but the ends of biblical narratives—how the ends contribute to closure for their stories, whether there are closural conventions that biblical writers regularly used, in what ways the ending strategies affect the whole narrative—have not been studied. Knowledge of closural conventions can address these questions and even whether biblical writers used them intuitively or intentionally. This dissertation is the first thorough study of the ends of biblical narratives; its prime data are the relatively short narratives
