We have an exciting opportunity we would like to share with the academic community – UConn is hosting two scholars from University of Haifa for a week. They have been involved in the Genizah Project, and much of their research involves the use of digital technologies to foster wider and more diverse use of the extraordinary historical archives of the Cairo Genizah.
Dr Moshe Lavee is a lecturer in Talmud and Midrash and the head of the Center for Interdisciplinary study of the Cairo Genizah in the University of Haifa. His studies are devoted to questions of identity, gender and canonicity in rabbinic literature, and he is also devoted to the promotion Jewish Studies among various communities in Israel and abroad and involved in inter-religious study groups and discourse.
There is an exhibit in the Dodd building that corresponds to their lectures. We welcome your attendance at this special and intriquing research seminar. Lunch will be served!
Please register your attendance at this event. Email your RSVP, or call 860-486-2271. Thank you!
