Midrashic hermeneutical discussion communities
Jewish/Torah-Focused
- The Patrons/Producers Circle at AlephBeta.org has an ongoing discussion group, and occasional Zoom classes during which participants can interact with Rabbi Fohrman and each other. Patron's Circle does require a paid subscription, but people from any religious background can join (with respectful understanding that it is a Jewish-run group).
Christian
- AlephBeta Nazarenes (Unofficial) is a WhatsApp discussion group for fans of AlephBeta who want to extend what they are learning from that site, and employ AlephBeta methodologies, applied to the inclusion of the additional Christian canon as well. People from any religious background are welcome to join (with respectful understanding that it is the Christian Bible which is open for discussion). Contact User:Zekeriya to be added!
- Theopolis Institute has a Fellows Program in which you can network with other folks who (among other things) utilize Theopolitian exegetical approaches in the lineage of Peter Leithart and James B. Jordan.
- Word is there is a BibleProject Slack group which interfaces with AlephBeta material. TODO: If someone has a direct link, or steps to find that group, please edit this line accordingly.
- TODO: Word is there are "BEMA podcast folks that know and follow AlephBeta as well." If they have discussion community opportunities, those should be added here. If they frequently make use of related tools, they should be added to the Midrashic hermeneutical resources page!
