ESTABLISHING BEYS YA'AKOV: LEGITIMIZING GIRL'S RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER | 3PM
DORA AND MAYER TENDLER FELLOWSHIP LECTURE · MAX WEINREICH CENTER
Agnieszka Oleszak
University College London
This presentation aims to reconstruct the history of establishing Beys Ya'akov in 1917 in Krakow as well as to explain the process of its institutionalization. This early stage in the history of Beys Ya'akov seems to be neglected in the existing research, most likely due to the lack of historical sources. In her presentationOleszak will attempt to shed new light on the early years of the school in order to illustrate the process of legitimizing the idea of institutionalized religious education for Jewish girls.

DI ROYTE YIDLEKH: FROM HEROIC MUSCLE JEWS TO LITTLE REDHEADS
THURSDAY 17 DECEMBER | 12PM
DINA ABRAMOWICZ EMERGING SCHOLAR FELLOWSHIP LECTURE · MAX WEINREICH CENTER
Dr. Rebekka Voss
The lecture traces the Yiddish term and legend of the Red Jews, the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, to its origins in Medieval German lore. It explores what different meanings the Jewish notion of the Red Jews has acquired over the centuries, how the term has been filled and refilled with new content in order to express larger ideas, central to the Jewish experience from the early modern times through modernity.

All events take place at the
