Facilitated by Professor Shai Secunda.

Cynthia Ozick's much anticipated Antiquities returns to her favorite themes of envy, drive, and...idolatry. Join us as we plumb the deep depths of Antiquities and put it in conversation with resonant biblical stories.

Shai Secunda occupies the Jacob Neusner chair in Judaism at Bard College, where he directs the Interdisciplinary Study of Religions program. He is the author of The Iranian Talmud: Reading the Bavli in Sasanian Iran (Philadelphia, 2014), and The Talmud’s Red Fence: Menstruation and Difference in Babylonian Judaism and its Sasanian Context (Oxford, 2020), and writes regularly for the Jewish Review of Books on Jewish scholarship and culture.
