Drawing on Robert Orsi’s view of lived religion, this chapter proposes that the discourse of law served as a vehicle in rabbinic religion to mediate relationships between heaven and earth. It argues that religious-legal practice is most similar, in Late Antiquity, to the practice of divination: an ordinary social institution that shaped human life by staging encounters with the sacred. Religious law too organized human daily activity around the divine will, making sacred presence apparent and felt in the bodies and inner lives of practitioners.
