What is a Jewish book, and how has it changed over time?
Rabbi Joseph Skloot ’10, Ph.D., Professor of Modern Jewish Intellectual History at Hebrew Union College, will examine the vast history of Jewish texts and offer a fascinating look at how Jewish ideas have been transmitted from oral tradition to manuscripts, print, and now digital platforms like Sefaria.org.
Explore what makes a text holy, get a glimpse inside a 16th-century Hebrew print shop, and see stunning images from early Hebrew books in our collection.
This event is hosted by Rutgers’ Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life.
