About This Text

Author: Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg
Composed: Jerusalem, Israel, c.2012 – c.2016 CE
Moses: A Human Life is a 21st-century portrait of the biblical Moses’s inner world by Dr. Avivah Zornberg. Drawing on a broad range of sources — traditional Torah commentaries as well as literary and psychoanalytic sources — Zornberg offers an original portrait of the biblical Moses. Moses's vexing personality, his uncertain origins, and his turbulent relations with his own people are acutely explored by Zornberg, who sees this story as crucial not only to the biblical past but also to the future of Jewish history.
