Last week First Things hosted a lecture by Gary A. Anderson on the topic “Is the Concept of Purgatory Jewish?”
Those who attended the talk—or anyone else in the New York City area—may be interested in his next lecture series at New York University titled ” Begetting Rabbinic Judaism: Moments of Religious Transformation in Second Temple Judaism .”
