last modified Jul 27, 2014 05:38 PM


Cambridge scholars, mostly members of the Forum, took active part in the EAJS Congress 2014. They delivered papers, chaired panels and sessions, helped with organizing the panels, and participated in various congress events.  

The keynote lecture "The Reception of Biblical Hebrew in the Middle Ages" was given by Geoffrey Khan and Ben Outhwaite. 

The following papers were delivered (in order of the programme): 

Geoffrey Khan
Title: The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialects

Rachel Adelstein
Title: Feminine Overtures: Jewish Women Musicians Encountering Non-Jewish Society

Stefan Goltzberg
Title: Literal Meaning in Talmud Literature

Last but not the least, the list of Cambridge alumni among the Congress's attendees and organizers is too long to be mentioned here. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the European Congress of Jewish Studies 2014 owes its success to the joint effort of all the above.
