Dear colleagues,
We hope everyone is safe and doing well. We are pleased to announce that the Jewish Studies workshop will continue to hold events this quarter. There will be a few workshop-style events with the addition of two, faculty-led events that will be oriented around reading a particular text together. We want the workshop to be as useful and enjoyable as possible, so please let us know if there is anything we can do to help facilitate and make this process easier.
All workshops will be on Tuesdays at 5pm, and we will be sending out the Zoom links in advance to the workshop listserv; if you would like to be added to the listserv, please click “Subscribe” on the menu above.
