The Babylonian Talmud, known simply as the Bavli, is the collaborative effort of generations of sages and the foundational legal and ethical document of rabbinic Judaism. Rather than authored by any individual authors, it represents the collective work of the Jewish scholarly community in Babylonia over five centuries. From its inception in the beginning of the third century until the end of the eighth century it was transmitted orally, and it continuously evolved and developed collectively throughout the period. This presentation will analyze the unique structure of the Talmud and the virtual academy setting which allowed for a living conversation among rabbis spread over diverse locations and several centuries.
