This webpage serves as an event calendar and program listing for the Center for Jewish History (CJH), showcasing upcoming academic conferences and scholarly discussions focused on Jewish studies and history. The page displays a November calendar format with detailed program listings that reflect the organization's mission to promote serious academic engagement with Jewish intellectual, cultural, and religious traditions. The featured programming demonstrates the breadth and depth of contemporary Jewish scholarship. The centerpiece event is "Maimonides and the Sciences," a comprehensive in-person conference examining the medieval philosopher's relationship with scientific inquiry. This Bernard Revel Graduate School conference includes sessions exploring Maimonides' influence on medical knowledge (particularly his work on poisons), his approach to ecological thinking, and his integration of scientific and religious commentary. The program culminates with a keynote address by Professor Emeritus Zeev Harvey from Hebrew University examining why natural science held such importance for Maimonides. Additional programming includes a panel discussion on "Jewish Religious Life in Lithuania in the 18th-20th Centuries," featuring editors and contributors discussing the distinctive characteristics of Lithuanian Jewish religious expression, and a book talk on "Music at World's End," which explores how three Jewish musicians fleeing Nazi persecution helped establish Iceland's classical music foundation. The target audience clearly consists of academics, graduate students, and serious scholars of Jewish studies, philosophy, history, and related fields. The programming reflects current scholarly trends in Jewish studies that emphasize interdisciplinary approaches—connecting traditional Jewish thought with science, examining regional variations in Jewish religious practice, and exploring the cultural impact of Jewish exile and migration. The geographic and temporal scope ranges from medieval philosophy to 20th-century cultural history, demonstrating the field's commitment to comprehensive historical understanding. Notable features include the detailed program schedules with specific session chairs and speakers, the hybrid format offering both in-person and Zoom attendance options, and the emphasis on recently published scholarly works. The inclusion of international scholars from institutions like Bar Ilan University, Arizona State University, and Hebrew University of Jerusalem highlights the global nature of Jewish studies scholarship. All events are free but require registration, making high-level academic content accessible to the broader scholarly community while maintaining organizational structure typical of professional academic programming.
