This is the fifth issue of Proceedings of the Midrash Section at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature published in this series. This volume contains six papers on Jewish and Black biblical hermeneutics with regard to Rabbinic Midrash (the topic of the 2011 session) and on “underrepresented” Rabbinic texts that were the focus of the 2010 sessions. Wil Gafney raises and explores the issue of how Jewish and Black biblical hermeneutics inform issues of White and Black identity. W. David Nelson addresses the occurrence and dynamics of racial thought in Rabbinic Literature and the treatment of the issue in scholarship on Rabbinic Midrash. Rebecca Alpert analyzes and responds to the critical remarks by Charles Copher about midrashic traditions on the “Curse of Ham” in his seminal publication, “The Black Presence in the Old Testament.” Dominique-Jamal Hopkins utilizes racialized hermeneutics to examine critically the ethnocentric exegesis of Rabbinic Literature pertaining to the Noahic curse. Since these issues are both critical and challenging, there is a response by Stacy Davis and a rejoinder by Rivka Ulmer. Rachel Adelman engages with the topic of the bones of the Ephraimites and the Messiah in Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer, reviving Joseph Heinemann's arguments regarding a parallel between the early Exodus of the Ephraimites and the Messiah. Laura Lieber addresses the prayer referred to as the ‘Groom's Yotzer'in light of Creation and its rabbinic, literary imagery. |
