I’ve been trying to read through the Talmud, one of the key texts of Rabbinic Judaism, through a 7 year 5 month cycle called daf yomi. (Admittedly, I’ve fallen about a month behind and am trying to catch up by reading two days worth of reading each day.) A while back, I read something in one of the footnotes to the text which indicated that the traditional Rabbinic chronology doesn’t match that of academic historians, especially around the history of the Persian Empire, which plays a big role in the later books of the Jewish Scriptures.
Your link to Rav Schwab's article doesn't work. Can you site where it was published?
