Event Description
The Judaic Studies program presents a lecture by Joseph M. Davis, PhD, associate professor, Gratz College. Focusing on the Jewish community of Prague in the early 17th century, and especially on the contested elections of 1628 and 1629, we will see how Jewish politics and the Jewish religion changed between 1400 and 1600.
Davis is the author of "Yom Tov Lipmann Heller: Portrait of a Seventeenth Century Rabbi" (Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, 2004).
Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Support for this event comes from the Louis and Bessie Stein Foundation, The Milton and Miriam Handler Foundation, and the Friends of Judaic Studies. Info: judaicstudies@drexel.edu, 215-895-6388. |
