Read through Aviya Kushner’s chapter from her book The Grammar of God.
In the chapter, Kushner writes about translation and commentary as forms of interpretation, as well as describing the habit of interpretation she gained from her family and Jewish community’s ways of study.
Write a brief reflective post (between 1 paragraph and 1 page) that answers the following questions:
What surprised you in this chapter (or felt most unfamiliar)?
What did you learn about interpretation (directly or indirectly) from this chapter?
What is one standard that you would use to choose a strong interpretation when multiple interpretations are available?
