Horeb: Studies in Rabbinic Culture

The Editors of  Horeb: Studies in Rabbinic Culture- are pleased to invite submissions for issues one and two. Scholars at any rank are invited to join in our exciting venture. 

Horeb: Studies in Rabbinic Culture is a peer-reviewed international English-language annual dedicated to the study of rabbinic culture in all of its manifestations, from antiquity to the modern period.  Academic articles, primary source translations and book reviews will focus on textual, historical and cultural topics related to rabbis in Jewish culture and thought.  Horeb: Studies in Rabbinic Culture succeeds  Horeb: A Journal of Jewish History and Literature, founded by Prof. Pinchos Churgin, a founder of both Yeshiva University and Bar Ilan University.  

Horeb is a joint project of the Faculty of Jewish Studies of Bar Ilan University and the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies, Yeshiva University. It brings together the two most important academic centers for the study of this culture, with the goal of setting the journal at the center of an international project. This will eventually include conferences, conference sessions, exhibitions, monographs, performances, film and other media.  Horeb will be the academic voice and catalyst for this larger project. Horeb is published by Brill.  First volume: Fall, 2024.

About Andreas Lehnertz

As Juniorprofessor of medieval history with a specialization in Jewish history at the University of Trier, Andreas Lehnertz studies the social, cultural, and religious history of Europe. His academic pursuits focus on the nuanced dynamics of everyday Christian-Jewish relations, the study of marginal Hebrew and Yiddish deeds, the study of Jewish and general sealing practices, and the in-depth study of Jewish craftspeople. He wrote a book on "Jewish Seals in the Medieval German Empire: The Authentication and Self-Representation of Jewish Men and Women". His expertise has been further honed through his roles as a postdoctoral fellow in the ERC project "Beyond the Elite - Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe" at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and as a member of the Martin Buber Society in the Humanities and Social Sciences, also at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Currently he writes a book about "Jewish Craftspeople in Medieval Germany". Through his research and publications, he aims to make a meaningful contribution to the academic discourse surrounding medieval history and to provide valuable insights into the rich tapestry of European history during this pivotal period.
