The 17th<\/sup> Lavy colloquium took place on May 6th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> 2024 at the Smokler Center for Jewish Life across the street from the Homewood campus of the Johns Hopkins University. The two-day international conference featured experts in ancient and modern monuments. The many topics addressed in the lectures included Jewish burials, museums, ancient magical objects, the temples in Jerusalem, synagogues around the world, and literature from the Bible to Yiddish Holocaust commemorative texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christian Kabbalah<\/p>\n\n\n\n April, 16-18, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christian Kabbalah can be defined, most broadly, as Christian engagement with the Jewish esoteric and mystical tradition. This engagement took two main forms: Christian \u2013 and Christological \u2013 reading of the works of Jewish Kabbalah, such as the Zohar, and the application of kabbalistic techniques, such as gematria and other forms of numerology, to the reading of Christian own texts. The aim of the 16th Lavy Colloquium was to assess the state of research on Christian Kabbalah, fill lacunae in existing scholarship, and chart directions for future inquiry. The Colloquium focused on Christian Kabbalah in the broadly understood Early Modern Period and was organized by Professor Pawel Maciejko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n October 7, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israel Under Netanyahu<\/p>\n\n\n\n The colloquium will analyze Israeli domestic politics and foreign policy during the period in which Benjamin Netanyahu has served as Israel\u2019s prime minister. The one-day symposium will bring together scholars from Israel and the United States and will discuss Israel\u2019s political parties, its economy, and its relations with the United States, Iran, Turkey, the Palestinians, the Arab world, India, China, and the American Jewish community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n April 9-11, 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n Herem: The Sources, Practice, and Representation of Ex-Communications and Bans in Rabbinic Culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nov. 6-7, 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Frontiers in the Study of Modern Hebrew Literature<\/p>\n\n\n\n May 4-5, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israel\u2019s East European Lineages: Russian and Polish Jewish History, Zionism, and Israeli Political Cultures<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dec. 1-2, 2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Polish Jewish Condition?
