<a href="https://www.saralippmann.com/">Sara Lippman</a> and <a href="https://sethrogoff.com/" target="_blank">Seth Rogoff</a> believe that "foundational texts must be read anew or they become tools of conservatism and reaction." But it's not just a belief they hold -- together, they actualized it into a new book, entitled <a href="https://madstreetbooks.com/item/VjqrgvczE87LiFQ7tagQAg" target="_blank">Smashing the Tablets: Radical Retellings of the Hebrew Bible</a>. This book offers a wide variety of new texts, radically revisioning stories from the Bible in many creative forms. The two co-editors join <a href="https://www.judaismunbound.com/team" target="_blank">Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg</a> for a conversation about their book, about re-envisioning the Bible more generally, and why "smashing" inherited texts is not only a rebellious act, but also an important tool in the spiritual toolbox.------------------------------------<a href="https://www.judaismunbound.com/classes#elul2025" target="_blank">Judaism Unbound's offerings for 3-week mini-courses in the UnYeshiva are now open for registration!</a> Check out class descriptions (on topics ranging from "Elul: Your on-Ramp into Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur" to "The Siddur Unbound: Making the Prayer-Book Your Own") at <a href="https://www.judaismunbound.com/classes#elul2025" target="_blank">JudaismUnbound.com/classes</a>.
