Rabbi Dr. Stanley M. Wagner is Rabbi Emeritus of the Beth HaMedrosh HaGadol-Beth Joseph Congregation in Denver, Colorado; Professor Emeritus at the University of Denver and Founding Director and Director Emeritus of its Center for Judaic Studies; and Founding Director and Director Emeritus of the Mizel Museum in Denver. He received six degrees of higher learning from Yeshiva University, including a doctorate in Jewish History. Rabbi Dr. Israel Drazin is the author of fifteen books, nine of which are on Targum Onkelos. He was the first scholar to recognize that the Targum took hundreds of items from the Tannaitic Midrashim – those that were edited around 400 CE – and even incorporated many words found in these Midrashim in his translation. He received a number of Rabbinic ordinations, and earned a B.A. in Theology, an M.Ed. in Psychology, an M.A. in Hebrew Literature, a J.D. in Law and a Ph.D. in Aramaic Literature.
