Through a study of the Hebrew word used to denote tradition, and referring also to the opening number of a famous Broadway musical, this chapter explores the concept of tradition. Many Jews claim to be tradition’s faithful representative, but it is not clear what is meant by tradition and how it is best protected. Contemporary scholarship and traditional sources are incorporated into this study of tradition. The term “bounded indeterminacy” is employed some of the paradoxes of tradition. The claim is made that at its heart, Jewish tradition calls for itself to be re-imagined.
