Dr. Marjorie Lehman serves as Professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary, specializing in Talmudic Studies and Jewish Women's Scholarship. Her academic work bridges traditional rabbinic literature with contemporary feminist analysis and digital humanities methodologies.
Her research focuses on feminist commentary on the Babylonian Talmud, particularly her ongoing work on Massekhet Yoma. Lehman explores gender dynamics in rabbinic literature through projects examining women's roles, head coverings (as seen in her article on Kimchit's Head Covering), and motherhood concepts in Jewish cultural history.
Lehman co-founded the Footprints project with Michelle Chesner, Adam Shear, and Josh Teplitsky—a groundbreaking digital humanities initiative tracking Jewish book circulation through time and space. This project represents significant innovation in Jewish historical scholarship methodology.
Her editorial work includes the 2015 Nashim journal volume dedicated to Judith Hauptman and co-editing two major 2023 publications: Learning to Read Talmud (with Jane Kanarek) and Mothers in the Jewish Cultural Imagination (with Simon Bronner and Jane Kanarek).
Lehman's 2012 monograph The En Yaaqov: Jacob ibn Habib’s Search for Faith in the Talmudic Corpus established her scholarly reputation in Talmudic philosophy. Current research continues her exploration of faith construction within rabbinic literature while expanding into digital humanities applications for Jewish textual studies.
