Getting to know... Ra'anan Boustan In a Q&A, Yale Divinity School's Ra'anan Boustan discusses the important of studying Judaism at YDS, the archaeological riches at the Huqoq excavation site, and the pleasures of exploring New Haven by bicycle.

For Yale Divinity School’s Ra’anan Boustan, studying ancient Judaism means uncovering the connections between history, archaeology, and daily life.

In a Q&A, he reflects on the discoveries that have shaped his work and the joy he finds exploring New Haven by bike. @yaledivinityschool.bsky.social

I have lots of people to thank: my colleagues @unibirmingham.bsky.social, everyone @littlebrown.bsky.social, my teachers @yaledivinityschool.bsky.social (Adela Collins and Harold Attridge) and @ox.ac.uk, and my conversation partners @jeremiahcoogan.bsky.social, @illdottore.bsky.social and others!

When he studied at Yale, they made him sit outside in the hallway to listen to lectures. Yet he used what he heard—proclaimed by professors who were "no friend to the abolitionist cause"—to craft a powerful abolitionist theology. Absolute hero.
