Mishnat Eretz Yisrael is a 21st-century commentary on the Mishnah that combines traditional and academic methods of interpretation, with an emphasis on the Land of Israel as the backdrop of the Mishnah’s development. Composed by Hebrew University’s Professor Shmuel Safrai along with his son, Bar Ilan University’s Professor Ze’ev Safrai, and his daughter, HUC-JIR’s professor Chana Safrai, the work includes running commentary on the text of the Mishnah, textual variants where significant, and detailed explorations of concepts that appear in the Mishnah.
