A Talmud Page as a Metaphor of a Scientific Text

The authors’ aim in this article is to deal with a new option of writing a hermeneutical text by using the metaphor of a Talmud page. They present this through the multiplicity in which three researchers contemplate a single set text.

This case concerns the life story of Zoheira, a Bedouin student at a teacher’s college.

The use of the Talmudic layout as a metaphor of a scientific text presents a preference of a polyphony of voices, rather than one voice, when dealing with ambiguous texts. It also changes the places of both the reader and the researcher.
