Many Jews have found themselves frequently code-switching, altering their speech to fit in, during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. In this episode of TEXTing, Elana Stein Hain and Yonah Hain take a close look at an instance of code-switching in the rabbinic Midrash, Pesikta DeRav Kahana 4:7-8, and what it can tell us about communicating with different audiences today.
We are grateful to the Walder Charitable Fund and Micah Philanthropies for their generous support of TEXTing.
