| A critical focus of Judaic Studies research is the intersection of trends and crises of modernity with the Jewish communities of America, Europe and Israel. The four essays in this section bring a wide range of historical, philosophical, textual and linguistic scholarship to bear on the relationships between Judaism and the transformations of modernity. Though the essays take up different facets of Jewish history, law and culture, each brings a precision of scholarship and argument to bear on this complex subject. |
