Nehemia: Shalom and welcome to Hebrew Voices. I’m here today with Rabbi Dr. David Moster, who’s the director at the Institute of Biblical Culture, biblicalculture.org, and he teaches online courses in Biblical Hebrew. He has a PhD from Bar Ilan University, and he’s an author of a book - Etrog: How a Chinese Fruit Became a Jewish Symbol. Shalom, Rabbi Dr. David Moster.

David: Nice to see you, Nehemia, Dr. Nehemia, it’s great to see you.

Nehemia: Thank you. I’m also here with Nelson Calvillo, who is a manuscript researcher with the Makor Hebrew Foundation. Shalom Nelson.

Nelson: Shalom Nehemia, it is a pleasure to be here with you and Rabbi Dr. David Moster. This is a privilege; I can’t tell you how excited I am.

David: Great.

Nehemia: Today we’re going to talk about the Society of Biblical Literature Conference that all three of us went to in November of 2021, the SBL Conference. It is the largest annual academic conference in biblical studies in the world, as far as I know. David, what do you know about that?
