Rebekah Haigh joined the program in Religions of Mediterranean Antiquity in 2018, after completing her MTS and ThM at Emory University and her BS at Rochester College. While at Emory, her research focused on Second Temple texts and contexts, particularly liturgy from the Dead Sea Scrolls. In 2017-18, she was a Fulbright Fellow at Hebrew University, where she explored orality in the Qumran Rule Texts. She remains interested in ancient scribal culture and the role of orality in the composition, transmission, and reception of the Scrolls.
