Join us for an evening with Barbara Boehm (The Met Cloisters), Debra Kaplan (Bar Ilan University), and Ephraim (Effie) Shoham-Steiner (Ben-Gurion University) exploring the recovery of a Jewish past in Christian cities in medieval Europe. This event is connected to the exhibit “The Colmar Treasure: A Medieval Jewish Legacy” (July 22-January 12, 2019) at the Met Cloisters, which features a cache of jeweled rings, brooches, and coins—the precious possessions of a Jewish family of medieval Alsace—hidden in the fourteenth century in the wall of a house in Colmar, France, and discovered in 1863.
All Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free and open to public.
