The Jean and Samuel
Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University
of Michigan has, for the last thirty years, provided
a scholarly home to faculty and graduate students
from a variety of disciplines. Its course offerings
range from Jewish mysticism and philosophy, to
pre-modern and modern Jewish history, Yiddish and
Hebrew literature, and Israeli politics. This
multi-disciplinary structure has provided both
undergraduate and graduate students with an
impressive blend of Jewish topics. Building upon its
broad intellectual terrain, we have organized an
interdisciplinary graduate student workshop in
Judaic Studies that seeks to develop a higher level
of intellectual intimacy and cross-disciplinary
dialogue. |

The Judaic Studies
Reading Group aims to provide
an opportunity for graduate students from different
disciplines to convene on a regular basis to share
our interest and knowledge of Jewish history,
literature, philosophy, and religion. We establish a
reading list for the academic year, and we meet
every four to five weeks to explore in detail the
content, meaning, and larger implications of these
publications. It is not uncommon for doctoral
students immersed in the dissertation writing
process to limit their reading to their own research
topic, thereby neglecting important new literature.
Reviewing recent publications during our workshop
has kept us up to date with ongoing debates within
the field of Jewish Studies. |
