Since 2017, I have been publishing essays that use modern literary tools, coupled with sociological ideas, to analyze biblical (and some rabbinic) texts. Many of these essays are building blocks for my book project on the invention and spread of the seven-day week.

Almost all of these essays are published in the online journal The Lehrhaus.
