Yahudilikte kanon meselesi asırlar boyunca tartışma konusu olmamıştır. XIX. yüzyıldan itibaren kanonizasyonun ne zaman gerçekleştiği konusunda farklı görüşler dile getirilmiştir. Bir kitabın kanonik listeye alınması sırasında rabbiler tarafından dile getirilen söylemlerde dinî, mezhepsel ve asabiyetçi kaygıların hâkim olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı erken dönem Yahudi kaynaklarda Tanah’ın standart metni ve rabbilerin kanon algısı meselelerini tanıtmak, XIX -XX. yüzyıla ait kanonizasyonla ilgili görüşleri sunmaktır. Sonuç kısmında kanonizasyonla ilgili kanaatimiz beyan edilmiştir.
