Dear colleagues,

The Greenberg Visiting Professor of Jewish Studies, Orietta Ombrosi, is delivering a lecture sponsored by the Greenberg Center tomorrow, November 21, at 5:00 PM in the Swift Lecture Hall. The talk, Sarah Kofman: A Feminine Deconstruction of Judaism, will doubtless be of interest to many Jewish Studies Workshop regulars.

Saggio su Emmanuel Levinas (Marietti, Milan 2010). As collected volumes, she has edited Tra Torah e Sophia. Orizzonti e frontiere della Filosofia ebraica (Marietti, Milan 2011); “Jewish Women and the Shoah,” for Bamidbar. Journal for Jewish Thought and Philosophy (1/2013); Ebraismo al femminile.
