Isaac Roszler is a postdoctoral fellow in Religious Studies at Bar-Ilan University, following his doctoral work at New York University. His academic background bridges law and Judaic studies, and his research focuses on Rabbinic literature, with particular attention to narrative formation and textual development in late antique Jewish sources.

Roszler holds a B.A. from New York University (2013), a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School (2016), and a Ph.D. in Hebrew and Judaic Studies from New York University (2025), where he specialized in Rabbinic literature. Prior to his current Fulbright grant, he was affiliated with New York University as a lecturer and completed his doctoral studies there. He has also served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary and the Academy for Jewish Religion. Earlier in his career, he worked as an associate at Dechert LLP in New York and served as a foreign law clerk to Hon. Daphne Barak-Erez on the Supreme Court of Israel.

Roszler was awarded a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship for his project, (Re)telling Stories in Babylonia. His research examines how late storytellers in the Babylonian Talmud reshaped narrative traditions originating in the Land of Israel. By analyzing how Palestinian traditions were edited, reframed, and redeployed within the Babylonian context, the project illuminates the literary strategies and cultural priorities that contributed to the final formation of the Bavli.

His recent publications include:

“‘The Kidnapping of Rabbi Tarfon’ (b. Ned. 62a): An Example of Stammaitic Halakhic Replacement in Bavli Narratives.” Oqimta (forthcoming).
