Taking Note: Scholars and Scholarship at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies 1993–2014

May 1, 2014 at - | Widener Lecture Hall, Penn Museum, 3260 South Street

Please join us to celebrate and reflect on two decades of Jewish learning at the highest level as conducted at Penn’s Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. We have convened a lively, interactive panel of thought-provoking scholars to contemplate the impact and meaning of the academic enterprise of Jewish studies, its relevance to the Jewish world, the University, and beyond. What has been achieved? What are the stakes and import of the secular Torah of academic Jewish scholarship? And what is yet to be accomplished?

Free and open to the public, no RSVP necessary.

Sponsored by the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies.
