(BA) Ketuvim
...

22 July 2022 - 11 September 2022

Ketuvim, or "Writings", is the third section of the traditional Hebrew canon. The first two are the Torah, or law, and the Neviim, or prophets. The first, the Torah, can be read as an integrated unit (despite its composite nature), with four books about Moses and one prologue. The second, the Neviim, is more clearly split in two: a first half that forms a more or less continuous narrative, and a second half that collects the prophetic books. Then comes the Ketuvim which consists of everything else. Its highly generic name parallels the difficulty of characterizing its contents in any simple way.
