Yael Ziegler (Hebrew: יעל ציגלר; born 1970) is an American–Israeli Modern Orthodox author, Tanakh scholar, and educator.
She is Rosh Beit Midrash at Matan Women's Institute for Torah Studies[1][2] and a lecturer in Tanakh at Herzog College.
[5] During this time her studies focused more on Torah Shebe’al Peh (Jewish oral law) than Tanakh.
Ziegler refers to this mode of analysis as “literary-theological readings,” a term coined by Rabbi Shalom Carmy.
[4] She is widely known for her works discussing Tanakh, such as, Ruth: From Alienation to Monarchy and Lamentations: Faith in a Turbulent World.
