'This Is Not the National Theatre, Here We Study Talmud': Performing the Talmud in the Television Show Shenayim oḥazin
The article examines the Israeli Educational Television series Shenayim oḥazin , which aired in 1984–85 and was meant to aid the instruction of Talmud in junior high school. This article approaches the series from a dramaturgical and performative viewpoint and analyzes how its creators dramatized and staged the Talmud—both its content and its form—and thereby captured, channeled, and adapted some of the performative features intrinsic to the Talmud. It argues that, while the Talmud and the televisual medium may seem fundamentally opposed, the dramaturgical and spatial choices that were made as the Talmud was conceived for broadcasting purposes accentuate rather than attenuate some of the Talmud's unique discursive traits. The article begins with a general overview of the show's plotline and premise, explaining the different modes of dramatization employed in the show as it engages with talmudic content. It then discusses how the show spatializes the sugya—that it maps the different layers or components of talmudic texts unto different physical spaces, while also allowing those spaces to infiltrate each other. The third part of the article offers a close reading of one episode of the show, which thematizes performativity and theatricality in the study of Talmud in a uniquely overt way. By way of conclusion, we discuss Shenayim oḥazin as presenting a productive tension between two kinds of drama, \"a drama of ideas\" and \"a drama of actions,\" thereby reflecting a similar tension within the talmudic texts.
