"There’s No Such Thing as the Ten Commandments in Jewish Tradition"

We’re used to backing up data from our tablets to the cloud, but we’ll explore tablets that actually came from the clouds. The Ten Commandments have an unparalleled history: not only in the Bible, but in the courtrooms and classrooms as well. The Rabbis spent significant time focused on the Ten Commandments, from attempting to figure out how the commandments were arranged on the tablets to analyzing the differences between the versions of the Ten Commandments in Parashat Yitro (the week's parasha) and Parashat Va’et·hannan. We’ll investigate the origins of the term “Ten Commandments,” and examine how various religions and religious denominations have divided up the verses into ten distinct commandments. (Spoiler alert: the culmination of this shiur will reflect its title!)
