Bamidbar is a peer-reviewed journal for Jewish Thought and Philosophy. Bamidbar takes its name from the Biblical experience “in the desert,” the opening words and the theme of the Book of Numbers and a crucially formative moment that foregrounds and frames the narratives of Jewish history and has become a constitutive element in Western historical narratives. In the wilderness, in exile, and on the way, Bamidbar signals the explorative, searching trajectory of exilic experience.

Bamidbar is published by Passagen Verlag, Vienna.
