  Moshe Greenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moshe Greenberg is a major scholar in the area of Biblical studies, in the course of a career that has spanned half a century.
Greenberg taught Bible and Judaica at the University of Pennsylvania from 1964-1970.
This was considered one of the most important early articles on this newly-broached subject, in which Greenberg offered some social history to guide the study of popular cult among the Israelites.

 Biblical Prose Prayer
Greenberg attributes this neglect in part to the fact that this material is embedded in narratives and could theoretically be part of the narrators' art and not a faithful reflex of actual prayers.
The same social analogy, Greenberg suggests, may lie at the root of the classical-prophetic evaluation of worship as a gesture the acceptance of which is contingent on the worshipper's adherence to the values of God.
Greenberg argues that the centuries-long persistence of classical prophecy without institutional support bespeaks a certain degree of public receptivity (however latent) to the prophets' doctrines, a receptivity which he credits to the popular life of prayer.

 [No title]
Greenberg taught Bible and Judaica at the University of Pennsylvania from 1964-1970 and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from 1970-1996.
The fact that prayer was conceived as analogous to a social transaction between persons fostered an emphasis on sincerity, and may lie at the root of the classical-prophetic view of worship as a gesture whose acceptance depends on adherence to the values of God.
Greenberg's studies of Jewish thought include important studies of the intellectual achievements of medieval Jewish exegesis (1988 lecture, forthcoming), investigations of Rabbinic reflections on defying illegal orders (Studies, 395-403), and attitudes toward members of other religions (Studies, 369-393; "A Problematic Heritage").

 Tradition Renewed: The Finkelstein Era (5)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Ordained by the Seminary in 1921, as were all of the male members of Finkelstein's team, Arzt brought to the Seminary a passion for Conservative Judaism and a warm and engaging personality, which endeared him to the many lay and professional leaders with whom he came into contact as part of his fund-raising activities.
Greenberg also played a key role in the founding of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles and, later, in the establishment of a branch of the Seminary in Israel.
As with his colleagues, Max Arzt and Joel Geffen, Greenberg's many years of pulpit experience made him both a role model to rabbinical students and an effective liaison with the members of the Conservative rabbinate who were viewed as being key to the Seminary's fund- raising efforts.

 Ezekiel 1-20   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Greenberg describes his method as "holistic interpretation," "emphasizing the organic or functional relation between parts and wholes." He rejects the customary wholesale rewriting of the text, arguing that the Masoretic Text of Ezekiel remains the least shaky foundation for study of the book.
Greenberg holds that the present book is "the product of art and intelligent design" expressing a consistent trend of thought decisively shaped by Ezekiel, if not his very words.
This work is inexhaustibly rich as a commentary on Ezekiel, but as a model of exegetical method it is a salutary contribution to the study of the Bible as a whole.

 Bookreporter.com - THE THIRTY-THIRD HOUR by Mitchell Chefitz
Former Rabbi Moshe Katan takes center stage again in Mitchell Chefitz's second novel, THE THIRTY-THIRD HOUR, which is the story of a community exposed to a new way of practicing their religion and a catastrophic morals charge against Katan.
Rabbi Arthur Greenberg is the leader of "Temple Emet, the largest Liberal Jewish congregation in greater Miami." He is preoccupied and worried about a hearing that will either allow the synagogue to build and expand, or not.
Overall Rabbi Greenberg's "awakening" and "consciousness raising" arise from the objectivity he brings to the task of hearing and watching how Katan teaches the families in the Havura (study group).

 Official Religion and Popular Religion in Pre-Exilic Ancient Israel
As Moshe Greenberg has pointed out, for Kaufmann “[biblical] literature is a faithful reflection of the literature of the folk as well” (1964: 81).
Moshe Greenberg, who abridged and translated Kaufmann’s work, seems to share a similar view.
In his important and overlooked Biblical Prose Prayer as a Window to the Popular Religion of Ancient Israel he writes “the temple rituals and the psalms —are thus deficient as mirrors of the commoners’ religion; both are prescriptions of the schooled; they belong to a class of experts” (1983: 6).

 Weekly Torah Portion -- Aleh HaDvarim
Moshe doesn't chastise the new generation for sins of the founding fathers-- they're not to blame; he's only settling their doubts about their own ability to live with the Torah-- thus he explains exactly how and why their fathers failed and how to avoid their errors.
Moshe and Yehoshua are BOTH commanded: "Write this song for yourselves and teach it to the children of Israel; place it in their mouths-- that this song bear witness for Me against the children of Israel" (31:19).
Moshe, in Dvarim, warns Israel not to repeat their failures of faith and imitate alien perverse cultures-- if they wish to remain in Israel and fulfill their mission; so great rabbis always tried their best to stem tidal waves of corruption, loss of faith and knowledge, and assimilation among their flock.

 P57mish
Moshe Greenberg ("Some Postulates of Biblical Criminal Law," in: J. Goldin [ed.], The Jewish Expression) has pointed out the rigorous distinction made in the Torah - as opposed to many other legal systems, ancient as well as modern - between human life ("dinei nefashot") and property ("dinei mamonot").
In this light we may note the progression, in our parasha, from offenses by a human against the life or person of another human, to similar offenses between humans and animals, and finally offenses against property (note the division between offenses against animal life in 21:33 and property offenses commencing with 21:37).
In the covenant ceremony of Chapter 24, Moshe introduces the covenant by presenting before the people two kinds of divine communications, entitle: "divrei Hashem" and "mishpatim"(24:3).

Interestingly, hundreds of years before Moshe Greenberg another great scholar – Don Isaac Abarbanel (1437-1508) – observed a similar distinction in his analysis of the differences between the laws of the Torah and the laws of other peoples.
Abarbanel, who was not familiar with the Code of Hammurabi or Eshnunna, anticipated the conclusion reached by Moshe Greenberg.
