We are excited to invite you to an engaging conversation with Professor Susannah Heschel, the Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College. As a leading scholar, Professor Heschel's work spans Jewish and Protestant thought during the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on areas such as the history of biblical scholarship, Jewish scholarship on Islam, and anti-Semitism. Her notable publications, which include Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus and The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany, have garnered national awards and widespread acclaim. A forthcoming book, The Woman Question in Jewish Studies, co-written with Sarah Imhoff, is eagerly anticipated. Professor Heschel has held prestigious fellowships worldwide, received numerous honors including the Mendelssohn Prize and five honorary doctorates, and is currently a Guggenheim Fellow. This conversation promises deep insights into Prof. Heschel's impressive career and her profound impact on Jewish studies.
