Tarbiẕ (Hebrew: תרביץ, romanizedtarbiṣ) is a quarterly academic journal of contemporary Jewish studies, humanities and religion (including Judaism, Biblical criticism, Talmud, Kabbalah, Jewish customs, and Jewish history). It is published in Hebrew by the Institute of Jewish Studies (now "Mandel Institute for Jewish Studies", Hebrew University of Jerusalem). The journal was established in 1930. Etymologically, the word "Tarbiz" means "place of dissemination of learning," particularly that related to an "academy," or "seat of learning."[1] The editors-in-chief are Roni Goldstein, Moshe Halbertal, Shlomo Neah, and Sarit Shalu-Aini.
