Congratulations to Professor Ilana Szobel on the publication of her new book of poetry, Once Upon a Days [בשכבר הימים הבאים], by Iton 77 publishing house. A copy will be available in the Brandeis Library and the NEJS office!
We are thrilled to announce that we have collaborated with theatre dybbuk to present a unique 5 episode series; part of their current season of The Dybbukast! In this partnership, 5 NEJS scholars were featured: Professors Dar Brooks Hedstrom, Jonathan Decter, Yuval Evri, Ziva Hassenfeld, and Jonathan Sarna.
Each professor presents his or her analysis of the history and meaning behind a special text. The scholarly insights and observations are intercut with readings of the text performed by actors from theatre dybbuk, resulting in an entertaining exploration of the themes and topic at hand.
