SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning: “The Myth of the Khazar Conversion” by Shaul Stampfer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 15\, 2012 \n“The Myth of the Khazar Conversion” by Shaul Stampfer \n12:30-1:30pm in Thomson 317 \nShaul Stampfer of Hebrew University in Jerusalem will speak on “The Myth of the Khazar Conversion” as part of the Stroum Jewish Studies Program’s Lunchtime Learning Series.  Light lunch will be provided. \nMuch has been written and said about the conversion of the Khazars (a Turkic\npeople) to Judaism and the consequences of this conversion. However\, it has been\ndecades since there was a systematic examination of the event’s historical evidence.\nThis talk presents the occasionally surprising results of a critical investigation\ninto the Khazari conversion mystery. The discussion will address\ntwo classic dilemmas of the modern historian: how to balance between\nbelief and proof\, and the problem of trying to prove that something did not happen. \nCo-sponsored by the Ellison Center for Russian\, East European and Central Asian Studies

SUMMARY:Stroum Lectures: Prof. David Ruderman
DESCRIPTION:Stroum Lectures Fall 2012 \nProfessor David B. Ruderman of University of Pennsylvania \nOctober 22nd and 24th\, 2012 \n7:30pm at Kane Hall\, UW Campus \nReception to follow first lecture on Oct. 22nd \nRegister to attend here: https://stroumlectures12-13.eventbrite.com \nBehind a Best Seller:  Kabbalah\, Science\, and Universal Ethics in Phineas Hurwitz’s Sefer Ha-Brit – Introduction to the Book and its Author \n  \nThe Book of the Covenant [Sefer ha-Brit] was one of the most popular Hebrew books read by modern Jews\, reflected in its thirty-eight editions spanning two centuries\, including three Yiddish and five Ladino translations. Part scientific encyclopedia\, part manual of mystical ascent\, and part prescription of a universalizing ethics\, the work was widely influential in an era of radical change and internal debate for Jews as well as for others. The amazing popularity of the author\, the eastern European Jew Phineas Hurwitz (1765-1821)\, stemmed from his kabbalistic pedigree. He offered his readers an exciting compendium of scientific knowledge they could read in their holy language under the pretext that is acquisition fulfilled their highest spiritual goals. The reception of The Book of the Covenant among modern Jewish readers allows us to understand more profoundly the ways in which a traditional society absorbed and creatively adopted aspects of modern science and cosmopolitanism. The book and its author open a wonderful window in studying the complex interplay of tradition\, science\, and inter-group relations in the modern era. \n  \nMore on Prof. Ruderman: \nDavid B. Ruderman is the Joseph Meyerhoff Professor of Modern Jewish History and Ella Darivoff Director of the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to coming to Pennsylvania\, he taught at the University of Maryland [1974-83] and at Yale University [1983-94]. He is the author of many books and articles including The World of a Renaissance Jew\, 1981; Kabbalah\, Magic\, and Science\, 1988; A Valley of Vision\, 1990; Jewish Thought and Scientific Discovery in Early Modern Europe\, 1995\, 2001\, published also in Italian and Hebrew; Jewish Enlightenment in an English Key: Anglo-Jewry’s Construction of Modern Jewish Thought\, 2000; Connecting the Covenants: Judaism and the Search for Christian Identity in Eighteenth Century England\, 2007\, and Early Modern Jewry: A New Cultural History\, 2010. Three of these books\, including the last\, won national book awards in Jewish history. He has also edited or co-edited five other books and co-edited two popular textbooks.
