Golde, Danny

Danny is a PhD candidate in Ancient Jewish Studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He earned a BA in Greek and Latin from UCLA and a Postbaccalaureate in Classics from UCLA. His research centers on the ways the rabbis of late antiquity use Greek words in their literature with a particular focus on the creative potential of non-native speakers. Danny's dissertation argues that it is productive to understand rabbinic Greek as a xenophonic Greek dialect. Danny has taught Biblical Greek at Union Theological Seminary, Talmud at the Jewish Theological Seminary, and Literature Humanities at Columbia University.
